  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.
  Police also said they confiscated large amount of money, drugs and weapons while carrying out search warrants on 76 properties throughout Ontario in various urban and rural locations.
  Authorities say the bust is a warning to criminals that they cannot hide these crimes and will be stopped when trying to harm children.
  Three of those arrested are under the age of 18.
  The investigation involved as many as 20 police forces in the region.
  Authorities admit the scope of child pornography on the Internet continues to pose a challenge.
  "Keeping on top of the types of storage and transmission devices that these criminals use is also a never-ending challenge. We continue to make best possible use of the tools and limited resources we have to hunt down child predators and finally put them out of business," said Inspector Scott Taylor of the Ontario Provincial Police.

  Sadly, in Canada a lot of things that aren't child pornography fall under the category of it... It's nice they find some real evil people but.. sometimes it also feel like a witch hunt (witch hunt usually end up in good people been burned in the past..)

  Better to let them rot in jail the rest of their lives.

  I don't get it. Why go for 3D children when you can go for 2D lolis? =/

  If it involves real children life in prison. If it involves drawings, writings, or computer animations not involving real children it is fine. That is my belief. I wouldn't wish death on anybody, im just too nice for it, but life in prison is perfect for this. In the worlds worst prison too, well not complete worst because i heard of some that literally torture but err not the best at all? A prison that doesn't have internet and comfy sells.
  
  Ok my brain is going off, but anyway life in prison for everyone!

  Life in prison sounds good.
  
  After all, people who have an unhealthy interest in children don't last very long in jail anyways.

  Yep. They'll be lucky if they last 5 years.
  Nobody likes child rapists and people who watch/look at child porn.

  I disapprove of CP, but... I think lolis are perfectly fine, and if they're criminalizing that then they're retarded.
