A Cambridge man is facing charges in connection with a number of sexual incidents that allegedly occurred while he was in Jamaica several years ago.
Waterloo Regional Police say the 54-year-old man was arrested in mid-February in Jamaica, following an investigation involving the RCMP, the Ministry of the Attorney General, and Jamaican authorities.
He was then held in custody in that country until Wednesday, when he was arrested by Waterloo Regional Police officers who had travelled to Jamaica for that purpose, and returned to Canada.
Stanley Saunders is facing charges of sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, making child pornography and importing child pornography.
He appeared in Kitchener court Thursday morning, sporting long hair and a large beard.
He did not get bail, and was remanded back into custody.
Police say the alleged offences occurred between 2004 and 2009, and 2009 was the year they began looking into him.
Waterloo Regional Police say the charges against Saunders are the first charges ever laid locally in relation to sex tourism.
