The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, Digital Forensics Unit, and Six Nations Police Service members have arrested and charged Kevin W. Jayne, 57, of Tuscarora Township with two counts of luring a child.
Six Nations Police said in a March 23 media release that a search warrant was executed in conjunction with OPP on March 23 and have seized a quantity of electronic devices. Jayne remained in custody and was scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Brantford on March 23.
"Children are our most valuable 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," Six Nations Police stated in the March 23 media release.
OPP say they 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.
Police say that if you have information regarding internet child exploitation and wish to provide information anonymously you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-22-8477 or ontariocrimestoppers.ca. Reporting information may also be made on the internet through cybertip.ca.
CJKS have reached out for further comment from Six Nations Police but have not yet heard back.
