A province-wide roundup of individuals far and wide led to a significant bust by the Ontario Provincial Police.
The list of suspects includes a Smiths Falls woman, who previously faced similar charges.
64 individuals total, including the local woman are facing a total of 348 charges in relation to child exploitation.
It was part of a province-wide investigation dubbed Project Acqua led by the OPP but carried out in partnership with 27 police agencies, like the Smiths Falls Police Service, over the course of 10 days in February.
38-year-old-Sheena Smith of Smiths Falls faces five charges including possession, accessing, creating, and making available child pornography, and making an agreement to commit a sexual offence against a child.
She was charged in a similar case involving Durham Regional Police. It is not known if the charges announced Wednesday are connected.
