A fourth British Columbia man has been charged in connection with the international child pornography crackdown dubbed Project Sanctuary.
Vancouver resident Kenneth Sather has been charged with two counts of distribution and three counts of possession of child porn.
Vancouver police say the 40-year-old appeared in a Vancouver court on Wednesday and was released on strict conditions.
Two other residents of the city have already been charged in the case, which has resulted in 218 porn charges against a total of 25 Canadian men, 26 Americans and six Europeans, although one of the Canadians, Ontario resident Richard Dyde, has since died.
Another of the suspects is 47-year-old David Caza of Kamloops, B.C., a convicted child sex offender who was run out of Merritt in 2005 and was the target of protest rallies by parents when he moved to Kamloops.
Charges in Project Sanctuary were laid in early December after a year-long police investigation that also rescued 25 children — 12 of them in Canada — alleged to have been victimized by the child porn network.
