Two people from Huron County have been charged following an extensive child pornography investigation.
A total of four people are facing 18 charges related to the possession and distribution of child pornography.
A 61-year-old man from Exeter faces charges, as does a 17-year-old boy from Clinton.
The Clinton youth also faces one count of luring and a count of indecent exposure to a person under the age of 16.
"Every photograph is sexual abuse of a real child. It is not just a photo. Every time that photo is seen on the internet, the child is victimized again," says Inspector Tina Chalk, Manager, Counter Exploitation and Missing Persons Section in a news release.
A man in Elora and Collingwood are also facing charges.
