Operation Malaise is a wide-ranging Canadian police investigation of an alleged pedophile ring which included officers from the SQ and RCMP About 150 police were deployed to make the arrests in Montreal, Quebec City, Lévis, Trois-Rivières, St-Eustache and Mont St-Hilaire. In addition to the arrests, the SQ said police were conducting searches in the homes of suspects, and computer equipment was being seized for analysis by the force’s IT forensics department.[1]
On January 28, 2016, Police in Quebec arrested 13 people throughout Quebec and in Toronto, who they described as a Pedophile ring, on trumped-up charges steming from "allegedly exchanging advice on ways to sexually abuse children without raising suspicion", simply for their association in real life and in internet chat forums as a pretext to search their homes.
The men arrested appear to have been members of a a as yet unnamed French Canadian support forum for Boylovers [2]
