The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of an issue related to child sexual abuse images/videos on the Internet.
Over the last few months, the Service has noticed an increase in the number of calls received reporting the distribution of child sexual abuse images/videos on the Internet and through social media.
Members of the public who are aware of these images/videos should do the following:
- visit Cybertip.ca and follow "Click Here to Report"
- delete the images/videos, links or posts immediately
Do not distribute the images/videos or make them available to others.
Every time a child sexual abuse image/video is viewed by an individual the child is re-victimized.
Distributing these images/videos or making them available to others, even for a non-sexual purpose, can lead to child pornography-related charges.
For further information, please contact the Toronto Police Service's Child Exploitation Section at 416-808-8500.
