Olds, Alta., man charged in luring, abduction and sexual assault of Edmonton teen
Mounties in central Alberta have arrested a 34-year-old man from Olds and located a 13-year-old girl who was reported missing from Edmonton last month.
Police, acting in response to a "request to assist" the Edmonton Police Service, attended a home in the town on April 21.
When officers arrived, an unknown man answered the door.

A search soon found the girl hiding under a stairway.

- Luring a child;
- Child abduction;
- Sexual interference;
- Sexual assault;
- Unsafe storage of firearms; and
- Possession of a firearm at an unauthorized place.
Humphrey was released on conditions to appear in Didsbury provincial court on May 15.
