The Windsor Police Service say they’ve arrested a 29-year-old man after the sexual abuse of a child was livestreamed on social media.
The Windsor Police Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) launched an investigation Friday after hearing from the Toronto Police Service that a Windsor man had made and shared a child sexual abuse video on a popular social media platform.
Investigators were able to trace the video back to a local residence and identified the suspect.
Police say the suspect was found and arrested downtown within two hours of the initial report.
The 3-year-old child involved in the abuse video was also identified.
The suspect, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, has been charged with the following:
- Sexual assault
- Sexual interference with a person under 16 years of age
- Making child pornography
- Possession of child pornography
- Transmitting child pornography
- Accessing child pornography
Anyone with information about possible child sexual exploitation is urged to immediately contact the Windsor Police Service.
