Police in Kingston have arrested and charged a resident following a child sexual exploitation investigation.
The OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit (CSEU), Digital Forensics Unit and Kingston Police members executed a search warrant in the City on May 8th and seized a quantity of electronic devices.
41-year-old James Mark Bailey was arrested and charged with the following Criminal Code offences:
- Two counts of Possession of Child Pornography, and
- Make Available Child Pornography.
He’s out on bail until his court appearance in June.
Children are incredibly important to our society, and many child sexual abuse victims are too young to speak out. Every time an image or video depicting that abuse is shared, that child is re-victimized.
The Ontario Provincial Police is committed to finding and prosecuting those who exploit children online. Parents should talk to their kids about staying safe online. Resources are available at cybertip.ca or protectchildren.ca.
If you have information about online child exploitation, you can report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or ontariocrimestoppers.ca. You can also report it online at cybertip.ca.
