Asquith man charged with child pornography and voyeurism

After a brief investigation, the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit has charged an Asquith man with a child pornography offence and voyeurism. In early November 2020, the Saskatoon Police Service received information that in July, a 24-year-old male had been in possession of child pornography and intimate photos of an adult female he had taken without her knowledge.

On November 25, 2020, members of the Saskatchewan ICE Unit and Warman RCMP Detachment executed a search warrant at the accused’s residence in Asquith, SK, and seized three cellular phones and a laptop which will be further forensically analyzed.

Elmir Drincic, age 24, was arrested at the location and has been charged with the following:

• Possession of Child Pornography, Sec. 163.1 (4) of the Criminal Code; and

• Voyeurism, Sec. 162 (1) of the Criminal Code.

Elmir Drincic was briefly held in custody and appeared in Saskatchewan Provincial Court in Saskatoon where he was released on numerous conditions. He is scheduled to re-appear in court on December 9, 2020.

The Saskatchewan ICE Unit is comprised of investigators from the RCMP, Regina Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service, and Prince Albert Police Service. Their mandate is to investigate crimes involving the abuse and/or exploitation of children on the Internet.
