A woman who was wanted on a warrant earlier this year and arrested in Alberta now faces 13 charges in Abbotsford, including for sexual offences against a child and the possession of child sexual abuse material.
According to provincial court records, Siobhan Kirby, 35, is slated to make her first appearance in Abbotsford provincial court on Wednesday (Nov. 12).
Kirby has been charged with:
• possessing child sex abuse material;
• making or publishing child sex abuse material;
• importing or distributing sex abuse material;
• accessing child sex abuse material;
• sexual exploitation of a person with a disability;
• touching a young person for a sexual purpose;
• sexual assault;
• invitation to sexual touching;
• telecommunication to lure a child under 18;
• arranging or agreeing to a sexual offence against a child;
• trafficking in a person(s) under 18;
• material benefit from trafficking; and
• procuring a person to offer or provide services.
All the alleged offences occurred on Dec. 1, 2022 in Abbotsford, according to the court records.
The Abbotsford News has reached out to the Abbotsford Police Department for more information, including whether the charges are related to one alleged victim or more.
The APD in July posted a notice seeking the public’s help in trying to locate Kirby, who they said was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for multiple sexual offences.
She was believed to be in the Calgary area at the time.
The APD reported the following day that Kirby had been arrested by RCMP in Parkland, Alta.
