In October of 2023, the Northwest Territories RCMP Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) entered into a child pornography investigation. Information indicated the offences were being committed at an address in Yellowknife.
In February of 2024, a suspect was arrested and a search warrant was executed on a residence in Yellowknife. Several electronic devices were seized and sent for forensic examination. The suspect was released pending the results of the examination.
