Windsor police have made an arrest after the sexual abuse of a child was livestreamed on social media.

The Windsor Police Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) launched an investigation on Friday, after receiving urgent information from the Toronto Police Service that a Windsor man had allegedly made and shared a child sexual abuse video on a popular social media platform. 

Investigators quickly traced the video back to a local residence and identified a suspect. An arrest was made near downtown within two hours of receiving the initial report. 

The 3-year-old child involved in the abuse video was also identified. 

A 29-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, has been charged with the following:

  • Sexual assault
  • Sexual interference with a person under 16 years of age
  • Making child pornography
  • Possession of child pornography
  • Transmitting child pornography
  • Accessing child pornography

Anyone with information about possible child sexual exploitation is urged to immediately contact the Windsor Police Service ICE Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4896.
