Irene Lima, 55, was denied bail by Judge Kusham Sharma during a hearing Friday afternoon.
Lima could be seen in the prisoner’s box, looking down at the floor as Sharma read the details of her decision. Details from the bail hearing are under a publication ban and cannot be shared.
Lima and co-accused Chad Kabecz, 40, were arrested in October as part of Project Artemis after police received tips about animals being tortured and killed, and videos being uploaded on the dark web. They were charged with multiple offences related to animal cruelty, including killing or injuring animals and causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
Winnipeg police have previously alleged the pair created an underground black market network where people had to submit a video of themselves killing an animal to get access. They allege Kabecz and Lima organized content being created and shared and profited from it.
