canadian man arrested and extradited for sexual crimes against children

Too bad they extradited him. I don't know what will happen in Canada, but I know what would have happened to a child molester in a DR prison, 81 years old or not...

There is an article in French in a Montreal paper.

Un Qu?b?cois de 81 ans est expuls? de la R?publique dominicaine
Le pr?sum? p?dophile arr?t? et rapatri? au pays jeudi doit compara?tre vendredi apr?s-midi, au palais de justice de Montr?al, en lien avec des crimes sexuels.

Joseph-Charles-Philippe C?t?, 82 ans, devra r?pondre ?? des accusations d’importation, de possession et de production de pornographie juv?nile, ainsi que de contacts et d’incitations ? des contacts sexuels avec des mineurs?, a affirm? la S?ret? du Qu?bec (SQ), vendredi, dans un communiqu?.

?Joseph-Charles-Philippe C?t? avait d’abord ?t? rep?r? par des employ?s de l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC). La S?ret? du Qu?bec a obtenu ensuite un mandat de perquisition qui a permis de r?cup?rer et d’analyser ses syst?mes informatiques?, a poursuivi la SQ.

Cette analyse a permis aux membres de l’?quipe d’enqu?te sur l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants sur Internet de d?couvrir ?plusieurs centaines de photos d’enfants dans des poses correspondant ? de la pornographie juv?nile.?

Les policiers ont de bonnes raisons de croire que le suspect voyageait souvent en R?publique dominicaine ?dans un but d’exploitation sexuelle des enfants?.

Un mandat d’arrestation pancanadien avait ?t? lanc? contre Joseph-Charles-Philippe C?t?.

L’ASFC, la Gendarmerie royale du Canada et m?me l’Interpol ont contribu? ? l’arrestation de l’individu.


TRANSLATION
That person was first spotted by Custom Canada and the information was past to the Provincial Police.They obtained a search warrant and seized his computer.They beleive that he travel often to the DR for that reason.They issued an arrest warrant pancanadian that involve the RCMP and Interpol. He will be in court today March 1st.

Good to see international cooperation in hunting down these sorts of people. Wonder how active an 81 year old guy could be even with "assistance". Shows that sex crimes involving children are getting the attention they deserveon an international scale. In the US they go on a list and even when they do their time they are forever stigmatized and hounded. At 81 he will probably get some sort of close supervision. Even the US has realized that they do not want the aged in prison and be responsible for their health care.
Aging prisoners is a big expensive problem in the US since there are so many people in jail due to the vigorous prosecution of drug laws. Prisons have become big business.
good news for the DR and Sosua especially.

Montreal man, 82, arrested in Dominican Republic after child-sex offences probed by SQ

Joseph-Charles-Philippe C?t? flown back to Montreal Thursday, faces array of criminal charges

Montreal Gazette March 1, 2013 12:04 PM

MONTREAL — After an international effort that included Interpol, Joseph-Charles-Philippe C?t?, an 82-year-old Montreal resident, has been charged with a variety of sex offences involving minors, child pornography and the Internet.

Sought under a Canada-wide warrant, C?t? was arrested in the Dominican Republic and brought back to Canada following a probe by the S?ret? du Qu?bec squad that investigates sexual exploitation of children using the Internet.


He faces counts of production, distribution and possession of juvenile pornography.

C?t? is also being charged with two counts each of sexual contact with a minor and of invitation to sexual contact with a minor.

An arraignment appearance is expected Friday afternoon at the Montreal courthouse, according to a statement issued by the Quebec government.

The Dominican Today website said C?t? was arrested by Dominican police in the oceanside resort town of Sosua, near Puerto Plata on the republic’s northern coast.

The suspect was returned to Canada Thursday afternoon aboard Air Canada Flight 1855, according to the website, which added that C?t? was taken into the custody of Canadian authorities at Punta Cana International Airport.

The investigation began with a tip from Canada Border Services Agency.

The SQ found “hundreds of photos of children in juvenile-pornography poses” when it executed a search warrant on computer equipment belonging to C?t?, according to the statement.

“The investigation also provided evidence that the suspect travelled frequently to the Dominican Republic, with the goal of sexually exploiting children,” the release added.

Further details were not immediately available.

C?t?’s charge sheet indicates an infraction is alleged to have taken place last Oct. 17.

His criminal-court file was opened Feb. 8, the same day the arrest warrant was issued.

It lists his Montreal residential address as a ninth-floor apartment between the Beaudry and Papineau m?tro stations.

Aside from the border agency, liaison staff from the RCMP and Interpol were also involved in tracking the suspect down.

The statement underscored an invitation for anyone able to provide information on the sexual exploitation of children to visit the website cybertip.ca, a national information source that also serves as a tip line.

be glad that you do not have imagination to give you ideas on how much harm can be done without the use of the fleshy tool.

Mmmmm, i am pondering here, it is like a screwdriver or scredwdriver with a phillips or flathead.

I am in lalal land right now.


i suspected that much. he will get away with it, pretty much. safe and sound at home, be able to relive his past adventures in the comfort of his own reclining chair...

i will feed him to the viralata, but wait i will feel sorry for them.

Well I'm glad they caught him, I wish they left him there for prison, Me being a Canadian, I think our laws and prison system is a joke!!!!!! Not enough time or not harsh enough penalties for law breakers in this country!!!!! Canada is far too lenient and give far too many rights to our law breakers/prisoners!!!!!!

One of my friends was married to a clinical psychologist. She said there is no way to reform sexual predators. Bad wiring plus bad environment as a kid. Even castrating them doesn't stop them.. it's been tried.

I recall talking to a friend in Maine about this once. Apparently one of the Representatives had proposed a law to castrate sexual offenders and the governor resoundingly opposed it saying "The last person executed in Maine was later found do be innocent, can you imagine castrating someone and finding out later we were wrong and having to say I'm sorry" Of course that was pre DNA and such and unlikely to happen now but thought it was kind of humorous

Just saw on the news that he will stay in jail until the March 7th for his pretrial. At this time,he will ask to be release on bail.I dont think he will make bail.It is the Canadian justice that ask for his deportation.He is accused in Canada,not the DR.The police must have a very good case against him to have him deported.It is expensive to deport someone,you can't just trow him on a plane and expect someone to pick him up at the other end.

Too bad, even rotting in jail is too good for these kinds......

i feel the same. canada really needs to get more strict. they do their time and they're out, with a warning to public they're going to reoffend. these creeps can't be rehabilitated. i was hoping DR had more vigilantes to get these jerks.

Canada is a joke when it comes to Criminials and immigration... my bloods already starting to boil so I'm going to stop.

just wondering what folks think about older women and young men. I've seen women well into their sixties or seventies with "companions" well into their teens. And they flaunt it right on the beach! EWWWWW
