A California man was arrested after an 8-year-old child in Nova Scotia reported threats to hurt them and their family unless they sent intimate images. The man confessed to victimizing over 20 children.
West Hants RCMP received calls from the child detailing the threats, leading to an investigation. Investigators traced the suspect’s location to California and collaborated with US Homeland Security Investigations.
A warrant was obtained, resulting in the 38-year-old man’s arrest in May. Police emphasized the importance of reporting suspected child exploitation cases to the authorities or the national tipline at www.cybertip.ca.
