From Manitoba, Canada, “A 37-year-old Brandon man is facing charges that include sexual assault after police say he was involved in creating child pornography of children in his care that was distributed “at an international level.”

Brandon police say the man and his common-law partner are foster parents of young children, and a home daycare is also operated within his residence in the southwestern Manitoba city.

They were alerted by the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre on Monday that a person in Brandon was believed to be creating child sexual abuse material of children in their care, Brandon police said in a Thursday news release.

The 37-year-old man was identified as a suspect and arrested at a home in Brandon after a search by major crimes investigators and a child exploitation unit, along with Child and Family Services.

The man’s common-law partner and six children were also found at the home, and the children were safeguarded, police said.

A search warrant was executed soon after and computer systems in the home were seized by police.

Further investigation and examination of evidence also identified the man as a suspect in an incident that occurred on June 9, 2024, where child pornography images were uploaded, stored and distributed, police said. He was arrested on those charges on Wednesday at the Brandon Correctional Centre, where he is in custody, and had a court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

He’s charged with making, possessing, accessing and distributing child pornography, as well as sexual assault, sexual interference, and assault.

Brandon police said they are not releasing the man’s name at this time to protect the identities of the victims and their families.”
