Albrecht case adjourned in defensive delay

Courthouse1

A Drumheller man facing child pornography charges has once again had his case adjourned to allow legal counsel to obtain further disclosure in the case on Friday, March 11.
Counsel Michael James made a second appearance on behalf of accused Shawn Albrecht and requested the matter be adjourned to allow further disclosure.
Drumheller RCMP, along with U.S. Homeland Security and Calgary Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) executed a warrant in the early morning hours of January 19 following a year-long investigation.
Albrecht, 45, was arrested and charged with luring a child, making sexually explicit material available to someone under 18, possession of child pornography, and accessing child pornography.
Mr. James noted due to the nature of the case, and the fact there is involvement from a policing agency from the United States, only some of the details had been disclosed.
The Honourable Judge B.R. Fraser adjourned the matter until Friday, April 22 in a defensive delay as counsel is unavailable for an earlier appearance date.
