Burlington resident Eric Straughan-Ostrosky, 28, has been arrested and charged with multiple child exploitation offences.
A joint online investigation was launched in July 2024 by the Halton police and the Ontario provincial police.
Straughan-Ostrosky faces three counts of luring a child and making child pornography following the investigation, which utilized several social media platforms. He was taken into custody on October 3, 2024, and is being held pending a bail hearing.
Police have expressed concerns that there may be additional victims, noting that the accused used the username “KingExplosion” on various social media applications.
The Halton police remind parents of the importance of monitoring their children’s online social media presence and conversing with them about internet safety and the disclosure of personal information.
The police asked anyone familiar with additional information to contact them.
