Four computers were seized from a St. Albert home this week in connection with the country's largest child porn bust, the province's Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) unit announced yesterday.

The crackdown, dubbed Project Salvo, was a coast-to-coast effort to identify potential offenders who exchange images of children as young as infants online in Canada.

In total, 57 people were charged for allegedly swapping images of sexually abused children, 130 computers were seized and 99 charges were laid.

A number of children were removed from danger, police said, although they would provide no specifics.

The seized images range from infants with their umbilical cords still showing to 17-year-olds. The vast majority of child pornography, about 80%, depicts children under age eight, said Lianna McDonald, director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

Up to 40% of those images involve sexual assaults.
   

"We're dealing with a very dark side of human behaviour," said McDonald.

At least 20 more people are expected to be charged, investigators say. Four Alberta properties - including the St. Albert home and another in Calgary - were searched, but no one has been charged in Alberta yet, said Staff Sgt. Howard Kunce, with ICE. "The investigation is continuing and charges are expected to grow," Kunce said.

It will take a significant amount of time for investigators to sift through data from the seized computers. As a result, it could take a while for all the charges to be laid and victims to be identified.

The nationwide investigation was a collaborative effort with every ICE unit across the country, as well as several support agencies and local police services. The project began in November last year with searches and seizures carried out less than a week ago, Kunce said.

Challenges for investigators - who are seeing younger children becoming victims - grow with the size of hard drives and more technologically sophisticated criminals.

Kunce said a computer containing a million images of children being sexually abused is not uncommon. The most he's ever encountered was 1.5 million.

"It's always a game of catch-up for us," he said, adding ICE made the project a priority in recent months.

Investigators hope that the bust will prompt parents to talk to their children about online predators and monitor their Internet use carefully.

And if their child is sexually abused they need to report it. With early intervention, children can fully recover, said Staff Sgt. Todd Laycock, with Edmonton's Zebra Child Protection Centre.

"Parents need not fear their child is suffering irreparable, lifelong damages," he said. "If they're plugged into the right services there's no reason to believe they won't (heal)."

Meanwhile, Alberta's Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security Fred Lindsay applauded the investigation and said more funding is needed federally to catch criminals.

"Every time you look at a picture, a child is being abused and it's not acceptable," he said. "We will be putting the pressure on Ottawa because it's not only a national problem, it's international, so we do need the resources."

Hi there,dally099  welcome. I think it would be negligent for the police to not look at their own.
If there is one lone killer, then he must have skills, not to get caught. Like I bet he knows forensics and knows both criminal and the cops. I bet he doesn't leave much evidense that could be attributed to him. He could also be a pretend cop. That ruse has been used before. He could even be undercover, playing part of the scene.
There are psychopaths in all segments of society.

Lianna MacDonald, director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, said the arrests and seizures underscore the extent of the problem of child sex abuse and the need for Canadians to "wake up and recognize that this growing problem is affecting all of our children."

"Secrecy is the cornerstone of child sexual abuse," MacDonald said. "Today, we are opening up these conversations and starting to educate Canadians about this growing problem."

It is about time that these child sex rings get taken down, one by one. Kudos to the cops on this!! I understand Ontario has a really good group of law who are tracking these sick F*cks. The more caught, the better. Now all we have to do is KEEP them in JAIL for LIFE!!!!! No more Pedo Power!!!

Our children are our future, and they don't need maggots like these touching them and worse.

I googled Duncan B.C. + murder Nicole and I came across this...

There are quite a few missing young women. Did this guy pick up hitch hikers?There is a Nicole Hoar missing from the Highway of Tears...

Thanks for the information, and welcome to the site. Do as bushman says and get info to cops. You just may save some lives...!!!

bushman:

The cult is a creepy and gives me the creeps and I do not scare easy. I have had conversation with four different young ladies whom were involved. Two of the girls were friends and new each other and the other two did not know of each other. However, there stories are the same. There is a great deal of memory loss for when each of the girls escaped, they were under the influence of some drug and memory is in bits and pieces. Of the two girls that new each other agreed that one go under hypnosis with the other as witness. The information was greater but, not by much. The unknown drugs used was very powerfull. Since the time the information was shared, all the four ladies have moved several times. They feel threatend constantly. They send me an email once every six months to let me know they are still alive. I have seen the fear in them as well as feel their fear. Last place the two new when they escaped was Clearwater, B.C., One from Salmon Arm, B.C. The other from Sicamous, B.C.

I think Clearwater, BC, was where Ross Klemens lived or grew up in. He is charged for the murder of Emily Stauffer, of Edson, Alta., and he was also a preacher, and liked to travel. He is being looked at for murders on the highways.He and his best friend another Pastor, took to the roads preaching for 10 years.I think I heard somewhere that Clearwater was ripe filled with pedophiles.

Sorry, I got the names mixed up, it was Greenwood., not Clearwater.

There was a very good book written concerning cults. The Author is "Maury Terry", and the book is called "The Ultimate Evil".

He writes of Berkie Boy, and the Carr Family, as well as Manson, and many celebraties and killings thru out the USA, and speaks of cults moving into Canada. The Cult he spoke of was called The Process. This is one of the best books I read concerning Satanic Rituals, and signs of Cult Activities, and Murder.

save- elephants: I also read that book, and it was really interesting to say the least.
