Other children might be victims in Brandon child pornography case, police allege
WARNING: This story contains details about child pornography and sexual abuse.
Brandon police allege there may be other victims as officers review a “plethora” of electronic devices found at the residence of a home daycare operator accused of using children in his care to make child pornography.
A 37-year-old man — who is a foster parent to young children and runs the daycare with his common-law partner — is charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, assault and making, possessing, accessing and distributing child pornography, police announced Thursday.
He was arrested this week after the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre alerted police there may have been active and ongoing sexual abuse involving children at a home in the southwestern Manitoba city.
Police allege the 37-year-old shared images on an “international level.”
Six children who were in the residence when the man was arrested were safeguarded.
Brandon police Chief Tyler Bates said in an update Friday that there may be other victims beyond those who were at the home.
“When you look at the plethora of electronic devices and computer systems that were seized, there’s an extensive volume of review and analysis that takes place relative those devices,” Bates said.
Police said Thursday that the man was also identified as the suspect in an instance of uploading, storing and distributing child pornography on June 9.
They’re not releasing the 37-year-old’s name to protect the identities of the victims and their families.
“This is a horrific investigation, with just tragic outcomes and consequences,” Bates said. “My heart goes out to the families, to the parents that have had to deal with this horrific reality … to the kids that are [forever] impacted by this victimization.”
Bates said the Toba Centre for Children & Youth is also assisting with the investigation and analysis of the seized devices.
“When you have these investigators that have to deal with this kind of criminality and this kind of evil inflicted on our children, it’s painstaking, it’s heartbreaking work,” he said.
“I don’t think anybody realizes … the toll and the impact of having to go through hundreds of hours of imagery to identify instances of criminality, of such brutal, horrendous crime.”
For anyone who has been sexually assaulted, there is support available through crisis lines and local support services via the Ending Violence Association of Canada database. If you’re in immediate danger or fear for your safety or that of others around you, please call 911.
Brandon police say a man is facing serious charges including child pornography. Police say not only was the accused a foster parent, but had a home daycare operating inside his house.
