A Sault man was arrested yesterday after police executed a search warrant in the west end and found three “lifelike dolls of children which are intended for a sexual purpose.”

Detectives arrived at the residence, in the 500 block of Goulais Avenue, at around 8:30 a.m. yesterday. 

“The dolls resemble children approximately 2-14 years of age,” says a news release issued today by the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service.

Timothy Allen, 38, is charged with one count of possession of child pornography. The Criminal Code defines child pornography as a photographic, film, video or other visual representation of someone under the age of 18.

The accused is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.

The allegation has not been tested in court and Allen is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

The investigation was led by the Sault Police Technological Crime Unit, which is a member of the Ontario Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet.

The group, funded by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, consists of 27 partnering municipal agencies working collaboratively to rescue victims and combat child exploitation.

ST. LOUIS (First Alert 4) -- A former St. Charles County youth hockey coach pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to sexually abusing two minors and recording it.

James R. Lambert, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of production of child pornography, one count of transportation of a minor across state lines to engage in sexual criminal activity, one count of receiving child pornography and one count of aggravated sexual abuse.

Lambert was also charged locally in two counties. He was charged in June in St. Louis County with two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and one count of sexual exploitation of a 6-year-old. He was charged in St. Charles County with two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and one count of first-degree child molestation.

Federal prosecutors allege he sexually abused one victim more than 50 times between 2007 and 2018. The victim was 6 when it started. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri said the abuse happened in St. Charles County, other states, and foreign countries that Lambert took the victim to. He also recorded incidents of abuse.

Lambert admitted abusing a second victim in St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. That victim was between 6 and 9 years old.

After a victim came forward, investigators found hundreds of files on Lambert’s electronic devices showing him committing child sex crimes. Investigators also found more than 1,100 files of child sex abuse material that Lambert got online.

Lambert is scheduled to be sentenced June 18. The plea agreement says the prosecutor will ask the judge to sentence him to 50 years in prison.

Florida Man Pleads Guilty to Producing, Possessing

Child Sex Abuse Material, Faces 40 Years

Guilty Plea Sheds Light on Dark Web Activities

Matthew Allen Gahan admitted to both producing and possessing child sex abuse material, stemming from his interactions with an underage individual abroad. Over a two-week period in May, Gahan orchestrated and recorded video calls, engaging the minor in sexual activities without their consent. His actions not only violated the minor's rights but also contributed to the reprehensible market for child exploitation material. Following an FBI raid on Gahan's residence in September, investigators found multiple videos and images that depicted the sexual abuse of young boys. Moreover, Gahan's use of the dark web to disseminate and acquire child sex abuse material came to light, revealing the depth of his involvement in these criminal activities.

FBI's Role in Uncovering the Abuse

The FBI played a crucial role in uncovering Gahan's crimes. Their investigation began with a tip and quickly escalated to a full-scale operation, culminating in the seizure of digital evidence from Gahan's home. This case highlights the importance of federal and international cooperation in combating the spread of child sexual abuse material. The FBI's diligent work not only brought Gahan to justice but also underscored the pervasive issue of online child exploitation and the critical need for vigilance and reporting from the public.

Legal Consequences and Broader Implications

Gahan now faces a daunting future, with the possibility of spending up to 40 years in prison—a stark reminder of the severe penalties associated with producing and possessing child sexual abuse material. His case serves as a warning to others who may engage in similar activities and emphasizes the legal system's commitment to protecting children from exploitation. However, it also raises questions about the effectiveness of current laws and the need for more proactive measures to prevent such crimes in the first place.

The fight against child exploitation continues to evolve as technology advances. Cases like Gahan's shed light on the dark corners of the internet and the individuals who operate within them. While his conviction marks a victory for child protection advocates, it also serves as a call to action for society to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding the innocence and well-being of children everywhere.

POLK COUNTY, Fla. – When Ana Albarran of Kissimmee found out her own father, Davie Albarran, had been arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for alleged sexual assault on children, she celebrated the news and said she is “hoping” he receives the death penalty.

“I’m hoping he gets like 20 years and the death penalty just because he deserves it,” she told Florida’s Voice. “He hurt so many people.”

Davie Albarran was featured on the crime television show “America’s Most Wanted” for the alleged sexual assault of 24 victims, according to Ana, including her own niece.

She and her sister became viral on TikTok after discovering their father was an alleged child predator and asked the public for help with trying to find him, even enlisting the public’s help to put up a billboard through a fundraising page.

Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested Davie Albarran Feb. 18 after he was allegedly on the run for over a year.

Ana said she received multiple tips from the public about her father’s whereabouts the night of his arrest and said she called the police four times to tell them where he was hiding.

She tells Florida’s Voice she “snapped” when she saw her then nine-year-old niece’s face when detailing what she said the suspect had done to her “for months.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new Florida law, which took effect in October 2023, making it possible for child rapists to receive the death penalty.

Ana said she will “feel relieved” if her father receives the capital punishment.

“What he did to my niece was bad, and for months he did it to her, and just like how hopeless she felt, having to deal with her own grandfather doing these acts to her, hiding her phone so she can’t call anyone, like making her turn off the cameras in the house,” Ana said. “He’s a monster and he deserves that times 1,000. Like, he’s just a really bad person and I don’t feel bad about it.”

“I think that’s a great law to have, especially when it comes to little kids,” she continued.

According to Albarran’s arrest affidavit from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, the arresting officer responded to a call in Lakeland, “in reference to locating a subject with 2 active warrants.”

Albarran allegedly had an active warrant from Osceola County for the charges of sex battery on a 12 year-old victim.

The second active warrant on Albarran was from Orange County was a “civil pick-up order for the charges of failure to pay child support.”

Albarran allegedly falsely identified himself as “Jose Rodriguez” to the officer on the scene of the arrest, according to the sheriff’s office.

Ana said there are 24 victims who came forward about her father and said she believes there have been two children and four adults so far, who have spoken out or made a statement about being sexually abused by him. She said he has “been doing this his whole life.”

“They’re kind of like building up the courage to go, a lot of women don’t want to do it because one, they already know he’s in jail, and two, they don’t want to go through like a long court process,” she said. “But like, I could just imagine that it’s probably more because if he was left alone with your child, he would do something to them. It doesn’t matter if you’re related or not related at all.”

Although she celebrated her father’s arrest, Ana said her father’s side of the family “sided with him” and she “lost the relationship” with them. She also said her mental health “is garbage.”

“Finding out that your father hurt people is horrible, but having to read over like 10, 20 people tell you exactly what your father has done to them is so sick,” she said. “And I had a mental breakdown finding out my father was like this.”
