On January 14, 2021 our Internet Child Exploitation (I.C.E.) and Computer Forensics Units in conjunction with our Emergency Response (Tactical) and Intelligence Units executed a Search Warrant at a residence in Greater Sudbury. 

As a result of the investigation, a 34 year old man was arrested and charged with the following offences:

  • Make Child Pornography
  • Access Child Pornography
  • Possess Child Pornography x2
  • Distribute Child Pornography

He attended Bail Court, yesterday, January 14, 2021 to answer to the charges. His name is not being released in order to protect the identity of the victim and a Publication Ban has been issued in relation to this matter, meaning no further details can be provided.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit is part of the Ontario Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet. This has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and Ministry of the Attorney General.
