Former Degrassi High actor Jason 'Byrd' Dickens, 45, has been arrested in connection with a child porn bust, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Dickens and three other women, including his partner, Dylan Anne McEwen, 31, were arrested after a Toronto Police investigation, which began in January after police received a tip about child pornography that had been uploaded onto the Internet, CP 24 reports.
Dickens faces a total of 26 varied child exploitation charges.
"We are concerned there may be more victims in the community," Inspector Pauline Gray of the Toronto Police sex crimes unit told a press conference Thursday.
The investigation is ongoing, and Detective Michael Sabadin told reporters that the department is asking anyone with any information to call police.
Dickens appeared on ten episodes of Degrassi High in 1991, playing the abusive boyfriend of Kathleen Mead, one of the show's main characters.
