Summary
Calgary police have arrested a 70-year-old man, Michael Penfold, in a shocking case involving the distribution of extreme child sexual exploitation material. Investigators called the content “particularly egregious,” and Penfold is charged with multiple offenses including possession, access, and sharing of such images. The arrest followed a proactive investigation by ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation unit targeting the most severe online offenders. Penfold was taken into custody at his Cranston home and is expected to appear in court in June. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.
