The Greater Sudbury Police Service Internet Child Exploitation (I.C.E.) Unit was notified of a disturbing video making its way around Greater Sudbury that had been viewed on Facebook and Facebook Messenger. Individuals sharing the video were attempting to crowd source the identity of the man in the video.
The video showed a man wearing an orange t-shirt assaulting a toddler. Our I.C.E. Unit has confirmed with International partners that the man has been identified and the child is safe. They were located in Belgium in September of 2019.
Facebook Trust and Security Department has confirmed that the video has been removed from Facebook.
We would like to thank everyone for their concern and assistance with this matter.
The Greater Sudbury Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit is part of the Ontario Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet which has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and the Ministry of the Attorney General.
