Several electronic devices were seized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the investigation, Jeffrey BELANGER, 32 years of age, was arrested and charged with the following&nbsp;<em>Criminal Code<\/em>&nbsp;offences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Possession of Child Pornography, section 163.1(4) &#8211; two counts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making Child Pornography Available, section 163.1(3) &#8211; two counts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make Child Pornography, section 163.1(2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The accused is scheduled to appear on February 20, 2024, for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in North Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children are our most vulnerable and precious members of society. Many victims of child sexual abuse are so young that they cannot tell their story. Every time an image or video depicting that abuse is shared, that child is re-victimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OPP will continue to aggressively identify and pursue individuals who use technology to exploit children. Parents are reminded to take a proactive approach to help protect their children from online sexual exploitation by speaking with their children regarding internet safety.
