Police said Wednesday that a pastor based out of Duffield was facing charges after inappropriate texts were discovered on a teenager’s cell phone.

According to ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation team, Glenn Harvey Boyde, 59, was facing a charge of child luring.

The investigation started in May, 2015, when the 15-year-old girl’s parents found texts on her cell phone – the messages were believed to be from an adult male that was known to the family through the church and youth social gatherings the teen had participated in.

As a result, Drayton Valley RCMP and the ICE Unit was notified.
