Special Police Unit Investigating SJ Area Pedophiles

The Internet Child Exploitation Unit of the police force reports they are investigating 5 child sex abuse files in the Saint John area in the last week alone, and there are currently 50 suspected cases of pedophiles sharing abuse images across the province.

Constable Tonia Williams of the ICE Unit tells CHSJ News law enforcement is constantly trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technologies predators have at their disposal.

The ICE Unit gave a presentation to Police Commission outlining how they respond to cases of child porn sharing. The unit advises parents to monitor what their kids are doing even if the computer is in a common area---because they've seen videos that show the parent was even in the same room when their child was chatting on webcam with a pedophile.
