EDMONTON – An Edmonton man has been charged with child pornography offences after an investigation by police in Europe.

The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team says a 36-year-old had been using “Kidflix,” considered to be one of the world’s largest platforms for sharing child pornography.

They say the tip came from the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre, Europol and the Bavarian State Criminal Police in Germany.

Investigators searched a home in southeast Edmonton last month and seized various electronic devices, including a desktop computer and a cellphone, and arrested the man.

The accused has been released with conditions and is to appear in court on April 14.

More than 35 countries have participated in Operation Stream, which has led to nearly 1,400 suspects being identified. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 2, 2025.
