ABBOTSFORD — The Abbotsford Police Department says a 62-year-old man has been charged with a number of disturbing offences related to the manufacture and possession child porn, sexual touching, sexual interference and more.

According to a news release issued Thursday afternoon (Nov. 30), the AbbyPD General Investigation Section (GIS) began in March 2023 to investigate a historic sexual assault allegation that was reported to the Abbotsford Police Department.

Through investigation and execution of search warrants, AbbyPD’s GIS, with the assistance of Patrol and the Forensic Identification Unit, gathered evidence and identified a 62-year-old male suspect with a pattern of offending that was concerning to the Abbotsford Police Department.

The man, David Massie Douglas, was subsequently arrested, and the following charges were approved today, Thursday, November 30:

  • Four counts of sexual interference
  • Two counts of making sexually explicit material available to child
  • Two counts of making child pornography
  • One count of possession of child pornography
  • One count of invitation to sexual touching
  • One count of child luring via telecommunication

“The Abbotsford Police Department takes reports involving sexual offences against youth very seriously,” General Investigation Section Staff Sergeant Kevin Small said. “This was a months-long investigation involving offences spanning multiple years, which required a large quantity of investigative material to be reviewed and assessed for evidentiary value. As Mr. Douglas has a pattern of alleged offending that was concerning to the Abbotsford Police Department, our investigators ensured that strict release conditions reflected that concern.”

Investigators additionally wish to inform any additional victims of David Massie Douglas to reach out to them at 604-864-4702.
