A 20-year-old Camrose, Alta., man has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography after a joint investigation by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams and the Camrose Police Service.
The RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Crime Centre became aware of a suspect who allegedly distributed child sexual abuse materials in an online chat group last year, according to a news release from ALERT Friday morning.
ALERT did not say exactly when the alleged offence happened, but the investigation was referred to ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation unit.
“ICE’s investigation identified a Camrose suspect, and at that point, Camrose police became involved. Our agencies were then able to work together to make a timely arrest,” said Sgt. Scott Sveinbjornson with the Camrose Police Service.
On Jan. 6, Junvier Fajarito was arrested at his home in Camrose. He has since been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
