Police checked several computers and electronic devices from the home and believe there may be more victims.
“It is a troubling realization that we don’t know how many victims are out there. However, we are hoping they have the courage to come forward and help prevent other girls from falling prey,” said Staff Sgt. Dominic Mayhew with ICE.
The two men have been charged with sexual assault, exploitation as well as possessing and accessing child pornography.
Anyone with information regarding this case or other instances of child exploitation is asked to call police or cybertip.ca
