2013: Nearly 400 children rescued and 348 adults arrested in Canadian child pornography bust

Nearly 400 children have been rescued and 348 adults arrested following an expansive and “extraordinary” international child pornography investigation, Canadian police announced Thursday.

The three-year project, named Project Spade, began when undercover officers with the Toronto Police Service Child Exploitation service made contact with a Toronto man allegedly sharing “very graphic images” of child sexual abuse in Oct. 2010, Toronto Police Service Chief William Blair said at a press conference on Thursday.

Police said their investigation revealed an entire child movie production and distribution company in Toronto operating via the web site azovfilms.com.

The site was run by 42-year old Brian Way, according to police, and sold and distributed images of child exploitation to people across the world.

Inspector Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, head of Toronto’s Sex Crimes Unit, said they enlisted the help of the United States Postal Inspection Service since many of the videos were being exported to the U.S. and began a joint investigation.

After a seven-month long investigation, officers executed search warrants across the city of Toronto including at the business, located in the city’s West End.

Investigators catalogued hundreds of thousands of images and videos of “horrific sexual acts against very young children, some of the worst they have ever viewed,” Inspector Beaven-Desjardins said at the press conference.

The criminals are sick. The children are damaged. And the innocent law enforcement officers had the worst job in the world. Viewing the images of unfree children is traumatic. Only the Lord has seen the worse in human nature.

I know the Constitution forbids things like this, but I would be OK with burning these monsters at the stake to put the fear of God back in these degenerates.

Just says no “cruel or unusual”, IIRC. It’s only unusual because it isn’t done now. Bring it back. Although firing squad sounds just fine, too; or hanging. And no decades of appeals.

And it seems like it’s more than it should be, way more.

I think DJT just wouldn’t stand for any more Deep State depravity.

Among those arrested were 40 school teachers, nine doctors and nurses, six law enforcement personnel, nine pastors and priests and three foster parents, she said.

One more reason to have two public school systems - one for children of liberals - one for children of traditional Americans.

If the dude makes it into custody, the arresting officers are nearly at the same culpability level.

I'm just sayin'...

Tragic, but you posted a news story from 2013?

Nearly seven years ago?

Here's another newsworthy FR thread:

It’s an old story. Just do a search for ‘Brian Way’. For some reason the story is making its rounds again.

He was taunted and then punched once by a guard in prison. So the judge reduced his sentence by 6 months. Can you imagine?
