Additional charges have been laid against a man accused of luring thousands of young boys from around the globe, including some from Australia, into taking part in an online child porn ring.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant Jean-Marc Par said on Thursday the man appeared in court to face five additional charges related to child pornography and exploitation.
The man, who cannot be identified under a publication ban, previously pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, sexual assault and making child pornography available.
Police said most of the thousands of victims were boys between the ages of 10 and 16 years and were from over a dozen countries including Australia, Canada, the United States, England, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, Belgium, Norway, Germany, France and Latvia.
Police say the alleged offences happened from at least January 2012 to the fall of 2014.
