An Oakville man has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and voyeurism.
Police said he shared images of girls between 2 and 12 being sexually assaulted by men and also set up a hidden camera in a private bathroom.
Detectives arrested 49-year-old Shawn Bivens, of Oakville, Wednesday and police said he has been charged with possession of child pornography in the first degree, employing a minor in an obscene performance, obscenity and voyeurism.
The investigation into Biven began in August 2017 when he was identified as a suspect.
Bevins is accused of sharing through his Gmail account 27 images depicting girls between 2 and 12 years old being sexually assaulted by adult men, according to police.
Investigators went to Bivens’ home and seized several computers and media devices and police said the preliminary examination showed the presence of hundreds of images of child pornography on his cell phone.
Police said detectives also recovered images from what appears to be a hidden camera that had been set up in a private bathroom and that is what the voyeurism charge is.
