A Canadian man charged with sexual assault is now facing child pornography charges after a search of his home turned up a teddy bear outfitted with a remote-controlled video camera, police said on Thursday.
Police in Durham Region, east of Toronto, said the teddy bear had been fitted with the camera in its eyes and could be operated from some distance away. It was discovered this week inside a 24-year-old man's home during an investigation into the sexual assault of two girls under 12.
Police said they also discovered a watch-like wristband device capable of recording images, as well as tapes showing sexual assaults on young victims.
Computer equipment was also seized from the home of the man who was said to be active with the Salvation Army Church in Bowmanville, about 70 km (44 miles) from Toronto. (more)
