A Trenton resident remains in custody after police carried out a search warrant as part of a child sexual exploitation investigation.
According to information released by police on May 22nd, officers with the Quinte West OPP Crime Unit executed the warrant at a residence in Trenton on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026. The investigation also involved support from the OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit and the OPP Digital Forensics Unit.
Police reported that several electronic devices were seized during the search. No further details about the devices or the investigation have been released.
As a result of the investigation, Kyle Peirson, age 30, of Trenton, was arrested and charged with possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
The accused was held in custody pending a bail hearing before the Ontario Court of Justice in Belleville.
Police say investigations of this nature often involve specialized officers and digital forensic support due to the use of technology in alleged offences involving children.
The OPP has also reminded parents and guardians to speak with children about online safety and to remain aware of the risks young people may face while using digital platforms.
Anyone concerned about online child exploitation can report information to police or through Canada’s national tipline, Cybertip.ca.
