Waterloo Regional Police say a Cambridge man has been arrested as part of a child exploitation investigation that began back in 2022.

They also believe there may be more victims.

Investigators allege Justin Garzon, 36, communicated with children online. He is also accused of collecting and distributing illegal content on various online platforms.

Police said Garzon used a number of aliases, including Justin Alexander Garzon, Ziggy, Xavier Kain, GatsbyASMR on GatsbyNSFW. He allegedly used the name Egsneakyboi on TikTok and Dad748392 on Snapchat, as well as a variety of nicknames on Kik: AlexMrDaddy, AlexDadDepraved, DaughtLove, famlover5, incstlvr5 and Johnnymiracle.

Garzon was charged with five counts of luring a child, two counts of invitation to sexual touching, three counts of making child sexual abuse material, four counts of possessing child sexual abuse material, two counts of distributing child sexual abuse material and four counts of making explicit material available to a child.

Waterloo Regional Police said they worked with the Peel Regional Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Interpol during the investigation, which they said remains ongoing by the WRPS Cybercrime Unit.
