In March and early April, the Kelowna RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit executed multiple search warrants at several locations in relation to a series of investigations into Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material. A forensic search of the seized devices will be conducted and ultimately submitted with charge requests to the BC Prosecution Service.

In the latest case, a 23 year old Kelowna resident and known repeat offender, has been charged with one count of Possession of Child Pornography. This offender was convicted of the same offence earlier this year and has been remanded in custody until his next appearance schedule for April 20th. The effective enforcement action by the Kelowna ICE Unit highlights our commitment to investigate, arrest, and charge individuals who choose to victimize children. states Cpl. James Jenkins with Kelowna RCMP ICE.
