Mounties say child pornography investigations are on the rise in the western communities of Greater Victoria.
The West Shore RCMP conducted 39 child pornography investigations in 2022, doubling the 19 cases investigated in 2021.
A 33-year-old man was convicted last month of possession of child pornography and sentenced to a seven-month conditional sentence and 18 months of probation, according to the Mounties, who said the investigation took approximately eight months to complete. "Though the number of these investigations appears to be increasing year over year, the unit takes some comfort in these recent convictions," Sgt. Thana Hodge of the West Shore RCMP serious crime unit said.
