Two Red Deer men who were arrested as part of an Alberta-wide child-porn bust that yielded 7,000 photos and videos with victims who included infants have been sent to jail.
Darian Blanchard, who is 22, was sentenced last week to 12 months in jail and 18 months of probation for possession of child pornography.
Andrew Halliday, who is 29, was sentenced on the same charge in December to nine months behind bars followed by two years of probation.
Their arrests in July 2016 followed a three-month-long police investigation dubbed Operation Icebreaker which led to 16 arrests and a total of 56 charges.
