Police said the woman and the defendant were known for their affiliation with a Saskatoon “faith-based” organization.
As a result of the sex crimes unit’s investigation, a 35-year-old man was arrested and now faces two counts of sexual exploitation while in a position of trust or authority.
SPS said he appeared in Saskatoon provincial court on Wednesday.
Police did not release further details.
