NEW WESTMINSTER — Five children in the Philippines have been rescued and a man from New Westminster, B.C., faces multiple child-sex charges in Canada following an international police investigation.
Police in New Westminster say its major crime unit began an investigation in June of 2023 after getting a tip from the RCMP’s child exploitation unit.
The department says the investigation was launched after an upload of child sexual abuse material from an IP address that investigators traced to a home in New Westminster.
Police used a warrant to seize multiple electronic devices and found an indication of child sexual exploitation offences involving victims in the Philippines.
