Newly minted OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique is expected to announce the details this morning of a seven-year long probe that has taken down what it calls an online ‘big-box store’ of child pornography images and videos and resulted in an unprecendented number of criminal charges.
Carrique will be joined by members of the OPP’s Criminal Investigation Branch and Counter Exploitation and Missing Persons Section, Toronto Police Service, and the United States Department of Homeland Security Investigations.
A panel of police investigators will discuss the significance of the landmark multinational child pornography investigation into an Ontario-based supplier of millions of images and videos that was distributed to thousands of paying customers around the world.
The news conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. today, Thursday, June 20, at Homewood Suites in Vaughan.
