Child porn arrest part of expansive investigation into Canadian film company

A tip on the identity of the company involved in the production and distribution of the child porn films was provided to the Dubois County Free Press with a link to a Wiki maintained by a group affiliated with relationships between adult men and young boys.

Here is the information garnered from that Wiki page. 

The international company involved in distributing the pornographic films involving minors appears to be a Toronto-based company called Azov Films. The apparent shut down of company coincides with the same time the search warrant was executed as described in the affidavit for Ryan Bieler of Ireland.

According to records of the investigations and subsequent court filings, many facts stated in the Bieler affidavit match facts listed in these cases.

 All of these individuals should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Azov Films is not yet explicitly cited in the official documentation of some of these cases, but there is strong circumstantial evidence that the alleged pornographic material was their product.

  1. It should be noted too that these movies can be bought to this day on Amazon.com even though they were contacted about the child porn arrests 3 years ago.
