A Brampton hockey coach has been charged with sexual exploitation and child luring, according to Peel Regional Police.

In a news release on Wednesday, police said the man, 26, was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation and two counts of child luring following an investigation.

Police said they were told on April 16 that two young people who played hockey in a local league were allegedly sexually exploited and lured in interactions with their coach. Police said the league was associated with the City of Brampton.

The man appeared in court in Brampton for a bail hearing and has been released with conditions, police said.

No other details are being released to protect the identity of the alleged victims.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call investigators at Peel police's special victims unit.

Heads of churches say Israeli government is demanding they pay property tax, upsetting status quo
Leaders of major churches have accused Israeli authorities of launching a “coordinated attack” on the Christian presence in the Holy Land by initiating tax proceedings against them. While Israeli officials have tried to dismiss the disagreement as a routine financial matter, the churches say the move upsets a centuries-old status quo and reflects mounting intolerance for the tiny Christian presence in the Holy Land. In a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, the heads of the major Christian denominations alleged that four municipalities across Israel had recently submitted warning letters to church officials cautioning them of legal action if they did not pay taxes.
