Kanata man charged with child pornography offences

(Ottawa) – In mid-April 2018, a member of the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) was conducting a proactive investigation on a Peer to Peer (P2P) network. P2P is a commonly used file-sharing network for users to share files, including images and videos of child pornography.

The ICE investigator identified an IP address located in the Kanata area sharing hundreds of files of suspected child pornography.

A search warrant was subsequently executed today in the Kanata South area. Digital devices were examined that revealed an extensive collection of images and videos of children being sexually abused.

Vazrick NAZARI, 43 years old, of Kanata, is charged with:

• 2 Possession Child Pornography s. 163.1(4) of the Criminal Code
• 1 Access Child Pornography s.163.1(4.1) of the Criminal Code

He will appear at show cause court on Thursday, August 9, 2018.
