Child sex doll intercepted in Hamilton, RCMP charges 43-year-old Nova Scotia man – CP24

A child sex doll bound for Nova Scotia was intercepted by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers in Hamilton earlier this month, and the RCMP say the Nova Scotia man who ordered it had extra dolls in his home.

In a news release, the Mounties said CBSA officers were investigating international courier shipments that arrived in Canada by air on Oct. 8 when they discovered the doll. It is said that the doll came from Japan and was on its way to someone who ordered it in Digby, NS

The seizure was then referred to the Nova Scotia RCMP Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit for investigation.

Just over a week later, the RCMP said officers executed a search warrant at Digby’s residence and seized additional child sex dolls and “other” evidence in support of both child pornography and trafficking charges.

Joseph Ryan Jolicoeur, 43, was arrested at the home and charged with possession of child pornography, importation of child pornography and smuggling child pornography into Canada, police said.

He was released from police custody and will appear in a courtroom in Digby on January 6, 2025.

“Child pornography is most commonly known and understood as sexual images or videos of children,” said Cst. Mandy Edwards of the RCMP Provincial ICE Unit in the release. “However, child pornography can also be written or in audio form, or as in this case, a visual representation such as a child sex doll. Child pornography in all its forms is considered harmful and is prohibited by the Criminal Code.”
