Sherina Maria Hansor, from Sandy Bach, Alberta, is also charged in connection with Edson.
Fransen was released on bail conditions that include restricting contact with children and he is due back in court on May 7th in Edson.
Jimmy Fransen, and 45-year old Brenda Disher, also known as Brenda Fransen from Quesnel, are also facing charges in relation to unrelated allegations of sexual abuse in Fort McMurray between 2017 and 2023.
