As a result of two separate and unrelated investigations launched by the Brantford Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE), a 55-year-old Brantford man has been arrested and is facing child pornography charges.
Members of the Brantford Police Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit recently executed two search warrants (March 31, 2025, and April 2, 2025) at separate addresses in Brantford after receiving tips through the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children. Officers seized multiple computers, cellphones, and electronic devices during the course of the search and in the process of performing a follow up investigation.
Detectives working in the ICE Unit found evidence of child pornography on the various devices.
As a result of the investigation, on April 2, 2025, a 55-year-old male from Brantford was arrested and held for a bail hearing. The accused is facing a charge of Accessing Child Pornography, and two counts of Possession of Child Pornography contrary to the Criminal Code.
The Brantford Police ICE Unit are continuing their investigations. Police believe that further individuals will be arrested, and charges laid as they continue their investigation and forensically examine the seized electronic devices. Anyone with information related to these cases or has information relating to sexual crimes against children are urged to call the Brantford Police ICE Unit at 519-756-7050.
Tipsters who wish to remain anonymous are asked to contact Brant-Brantford Crime Stoppers at 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477. Alternatively, a web tip may be submitted at: https://www.crimestoppersbb.com/submit-a-tip/
The Brantford Police Service joined the Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet in 2007. The Provincial Strategy is comprised of the OPP Child Exploitation Section and 27 municipal police services. This Project has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of the Solicitor General.
The Brantford Police Service supports this strategy and has recognized that images of children and child abuse placed on the internet lead to perpetual victimization.
The online exploitation of children continues to be a challenge for investigators due to its sheer volume, global reaches, and anonymity; however, the Brantford Police Service is committed to ensuring the safety of our community’s children and taking action against online sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children.
