Canadian Child Porn Bust Nets 31 Arrests

Canadian Child Porn Investigation Leads To 93 Charges Against 31 People

(AP)  Ontario provincial police say they rescued two children and arrested 31 people in what they are calling the largest child pornography investigation in the province's history.

Police said Thursday a 4-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl were rescued.

Ninety-three charges were filed against 31 people following raids Wednesday.

Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino says the arrests are a direct result of improved tools to track down alleged child pornographers on the Internet.

Police say the people arrested include three youths and a 60-year-old man.

The charges include possession of child pornography and making child pornography.
