A 40-year-old London, Ont., man faces child pornography charges after Australian police notified authorities in London when they discovered obscene photos of a four-year-old girl on an image-sharing website in Russia.
London police’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit then worked in collaboration with the Queensland Police Service in Queensland, Australia, and identified the four-year-old London girl in the images Wednesday.
Investigators raided a home in London Thursday and seized a mobile phone and several computer devices.
