Article contentToronto Police say Internet Child Exploitation Unit officers initially launched the investigation in March after receiving a report regarding child sexual abuse and exploitation material (CSAEM) that had allegedly been uploaded to a social media platform.
“Officers seized electronic devices belonging to the accused, on which a forensic review located CSAEM and revealed the accused had used false personas/identities to allegedly lure and exploit children,” police claim in a statement released Wednesday.
He was charged with seven offences at that time, including two counts of accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material; two counts of possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material; one count of making child sexual abuse and exploitation material; one count of make available child sexual abuse and exploitation material; and one count of luring a person under 18 years old.
