A Manitoba man wants an apology from police after RCMP wrongfully named and charged him in relation to an alleged teen sex exploitation case in Portage la Prairie.

Scott Joseph Taylor, 34, was one of seven people named in a release by RCMP following an investigation that alleged teens were being lured into performing sexual acts on men in exchange for drugs and money.

The press release said Taylor was charged with unsafe firearms storage and obtaining sexual services from a person under 18 after police searched his Portage la Prairie home.

Then on Friday, more than a week after the initial release, the Mounties sent an update stating Taylor was not involved in what happened and his charges had been stayed.
