Brantford man re-arrested, charged with human trafficking and child luring

Brantford police have arrested a 32-year-old man for the second time in connection with a human trafficking and child pornography investigation.

Officers say on Aug. 19 they executed a search warrant at a residence in Brantford after receiving information about a man being in possession of child pornography.

Multiple computers, cellphones and electronic devices were seized during the search – which led to investigators finding child pornography on the various devices.

Back at this time in August, the man was charged with accessing child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography.

After a continued investigation, authorities arrested the man again on Sept. 30. He is now facing an additional 15 charges related to human trafficking, making child pornography and luring a child under 16.

They say the man used the following usernames and online identities:

• Deodee9
• Deodee49
• Daledeo
• Karl or Karl and Alexis
• Karl antigula
• Karl shy
