Canadian police arrested 27 men in a raid on an international child pornography ring Wednesday in Quebec Province, a spokesman said.
The raid was the result of a two-year investigation, which started after police received a tip from an internet service provider in Europe, Sgt. Joyce Kemp said at a press conference in Montreal.
The owner of a website in Germany who hosted free forums for discussion alerted authorities that some individuals were using his website to exchange juvenile pornography material, Kemp said.
Most of the victims were of elementary-school age and one of them was as young as a baby who was just a few months old, she said.
The 27 men have already appeared in court, and most face charges of accessing and possessing material related to child pornography.
Experts are calling on the government to put internet safety on the school curriculum to give children adequate education on the issue.
