A North Vancouver man has been charged in a child sexual exploitation investigation that began more than a year ago, according to authorities. The Port Moody Police Department said it received information alleging a “vulnerable youth” had been sexually exploited by a man within the Lower Mainland region in the spring of 2025. On Aug. 11, 58-year-old Majid Talebi was formally charged. He is accused of one count of invitation to sexual touching of a person under 16 and two counts of telecommunication to lure a child under 16. “This was a very complex and sensitive investigation carried out by our Major Crime Section which included a tandem civil forfeiture process,” Const. Sam Zacharias said, in a statement issued Wednesday. “Detectives worked diligently over the past year to collect evidence and bring this matter before the courts.” Talebi was scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday. No further details about the case were provided by police.
