TORONTO (TIP): More than 300 people, including teachers, coaches and doctors, have been arrested worldwide on child pornography charges after a Canadianled investigation. Toronto police said on Thursday the arrest of 348 people, including 108 in Canada, 76 in the United States and 164 in other countries from Spain to Australia, came after a threeyear investigation of a Toronto company that distributed child porn. “Of concern to the investigators was the number of people (arrested) who have close contact with children. The arrests included 40 school teachers, nine doctors and nurses, 32 people who volunteered with children, six law enforcement personnel, nine pastors or priests, and three foster parents,” Inspector Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, head of Toronto’s Sex Crimes Unit, told a news conference.
