A southern Alberta mother is facing child pornography charges in connection with her own child.
The charges stem from a months-long investigation by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams' Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit into abuse alleged to have happened in the village of Barnwell, Alta., roughly 40 kilometres east of Lethbridge.
Police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an Alberta man who was allegedly uploading child pornography via Facebook.
Police searched a home in Barnwell on Sept. 19, seizing computers which ICE says contained "nearly half a million photos and videos of child sexual abuse materials."
A 41-year-old man was arrested from the home.
Among the "vast collection" of child sexual abuse materials discovered, ICE says they identified a series of materials believed to be unique and possibly created by the accused.
"Further investigation into this series of child sexual abuse materials revealed that the materials were produced in Alberta and ICE was able to identify a suspect and child being abused."
