Sex charges have been filed against a former Calgarian and church volunteer following allegations involving three boys in the 1980s and ’90s.

Police launched an investigation in 2011 after word of the alleged incidents surfaced and the man turned himself in to Mounties, said Det. Stephen Johnston of the Calgary police child abuse unit, which took over the case.

“The allegations came to light within the (accused’s) church and from that point, that sparked the accused to make himself available to the RCMP,” he said.
