AT LEAST TWENTY-TWO CHILDREN RESCUED IN CHILD PORN RAIDS

Ottawa (CNN) -- At least 60 people have been charged in connection with one of Canada's largest ever pornography busts, authorities said Thursday.
The arrests came after sweeping raids on alleged child pornography rings throughout Ontario, officials said.
"In all, 60 people have been charged with 213 offenses and we anticipate that there will be several more charged," said Det. Sgt. Frank Goldschmidt of the Ontario Provincial Police.

"Charges included sexual assault, children luring, possession of child pornography, making available child pornography, distribution of child pornography, and accessing child pornography," he added.
At least 22 victims have been identified, authorities said, and the child victims are now in care and are receiving medical and trauma assessments. Police are still trying to identify more victims that may have been abused.
