A local man has been arrested and charged with Child Pornography offences by the Lanark County OPP and other units, including the OPP’s Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, following an investigation into child sexual exploitation.
Police executed a search warrant at a residence in the county and confiscated multiple electronic devices.
The accused, 38-year-old Jeff Noonan, is currently in custody awaiting a bail hearing.
The OPP says children are our most valuable and precious members of society. Many victims of child sexual abuse are so young that they cannot tell their story. Every time an image or video depicting that abuse is shared, that child is re-victimized. Members of the OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit will continue to pursue individuals who exploit children on the Internet.
They are reminding parents to take the initiative to safeguard their children from online sexual exploitation by discussing internet safety with them.
If you have information regarding internet child exploitation and wish to provide information anonymously you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca. Reporting information may also be made on the internet through www.cybertip.ca.
