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.
