“This is not a victimless crime. The promotion and purchase of sex dolls resembling a child reinforce relationships of power, inequality, and violence, projecting an unhealthy image, making children vulnerable.” Brantford Police Inspector Kevin Reeder said.

Anyone with more information about this investigation is asked to contact police at 519-756-0113.

Those who wish to remain anonymous are asked to contact Brant-Brantford Crime Stoppers at 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477.
