Abbotsford man gets one year in jail for 12K images of child sexual abuse

Caleb Abraham Janzen, a 36-year-old man from Abbotsford, was sentenced on May 1 to one year in jail and three years probation for possessing over 12,000 child sexual abuse images.
His arrest followed a June 2022 investigation prompted by U.S. Homeland Security discovering abusive material sent to Janzen's email address.
Police seized three cellphones from Janzen's home, extracting 12,485 files depicting sexual violence involving girls aged five to nine, who were mostly naked.
Judge Dannielle Dunn dismissed a joint proposal for a conditional sentence due to Janzen’s prior 2019 conviction and a psychologist’s evaluation indicating a moderate to high risk of reoffending, emphasizing that although the victims are unidentified, they do exist somewhere.
Janzen's probation includes internet and cellphone restrictions with some exceptions, bans from child-populated areas unless permitted, and a willingness to complete further programming after his 2024 baptism.
