Child pornography is one of the most heinous crimes committed by men. Its making, distribution, and consumption is such a vile practice that the Supreme Court of Canada has deemed that the very existence of child pornography constitutes a threat to the safety of children. Those who seek out images of children being raped and sexually exploited are among the most dangerous members of our society. Thus it is very disturbing to hear of this story in today's Chronicle-Herald.
Fall River man busted in child porn case
A 56-year-old Fall River man has been arrested as part of an international investigation into child pornography.
RCMP arrested the man at his home Wednesday morning and seized three desktop computers, a laptop and an external hard drive.
Charges have not been laid, so the man cannot be identified. He has been released on conditions and is to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on May 21.
Police received information from New Jersey authorities about credit-card child pornography purchases made from that house, Cpl. Dave Fox of the provincial RCMP’s Internet child exploitation unit said Thursday.
"As a result of the investigation in the United States, we were able to get search warrants to confirm this information," he said. "Operation Falcon is the project. It’s a historical child exploitation investigation from 2003. This is what gave us the grounds to go into the house in this one."
He said police received information about the case in 2004 but were unable to proceed more quickly because of other complaints they were investigating.
