Kingston Man Faces Multiple Charges After Border Interception of Child Sex Doll
A 57-year-old Kingston, Ontario man has been charged with multiple offences after Canada Border Services Agency officers intercepted a package containing a life-sized child sex doll at Hamilton International Airport. The disturbing discovery occurred on February 3, 2026, when CBSA officials examined a parcel originating from China that was addressed to a Kingston resident.
Details of the Interception and Investigation
According to government officials, the package was intercepted during routine screening procedures at Hamilton International Airport. Upon examination, CBSA officers determined the parcel contained what they categorized as child sexual abuse and exploitation material, specifically a life-sized doll designed to resemble a child.
The CBSA immediately notified the Kingston Police Internet Child Exploitation unit, which launched a comprehensive investigation into the matter. This collaboration between federal border services and local law enforcement highlights the coordinated approach Canadian authorities take in combating child exploitation materials entering the country.
Arrest and Charges Laid
Kingston Police apprehended the suspect near the intersection of Barnsley Crescent and Acadian Drive in Kingston. Following his arrest, the man was transported to police headquarters where he was held for a bail hearing.
The 57-year-old faces three serious charges:
- Possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material
- Importation of child sexual abuse and exploitation material
- Failure to comply with a long-term supervision order resulting from previous child sexual offence convictions
This last charge indicates the suspect has prior convictions related to child sexual offences and was under court-ordered supervision at the time of the alleged offences.
Ongoing Investigation and Broader Context
Both the CBSA and Kingston Police have confirmed that their investigation remains active, with the possibility of additional charges being laid as the case develops. Authorities are urging anyone with information about suspicious cross-border activities to report it through official channels.
The CBSA has provided specific reporting options for concerned citizens:
- Online reporting through official government channels
- Telephone reporting at 1-888-502-9060
This incident occurs amid increased border enforcement activity across Southern Ontario. In a separate but related development, CBSA recently concluded Operation Meridian, a 60-day targeted operation aimed at disrupting the import and export of illicit narcotics through commercial channels at various ports of entry throughout the region.
Michael Prosia, Regional Director General for the CBSA Southern Ontario Region, emphasized the importance of such operations, stating, "This outstanding work helps keep Canadians safe by stopping harmful drugs from reaching our streets and communities. The success of Operation Meridian highlights the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between the CBSA and law enforcement partners."
The interception of the child sex doll represents another example of border officials' vigilance in preventing harmful materials from entering Canadian communities, complementing their ongoing efforts against drug smuggling and other illicit cross-border activities.
