A Winnipeg man faces child pornography charges for allegedly owning an illegal child-like sex dolls.Border agents in Vancouver found a strange package headed to Winnipeg last month. Inside was a doll made to look like a young child.Winnipeg police then searched a home in Fort Richmond. They found 20 dolls that looked like children, ranging in age from newborn to early teens."Those additional dolls are not sex dolls, they are just regular dolls," said Constable Dani McKinnon. "Some of them had been altered from their original state."Police arrested Johnathan Sirski, 45, for allegedly possessing child pornography and other charges.McKinnon explained why these dolls are illegal.“It’s a little bit difficult to conceptualize, and I realize that it’s a doll, so how is that categorized as possessing child pornography?” said McKinnon. “But essentially it is because the intention and the usage is very much a depiction of a human child.”This arrest comes several weeks after the Winnipeg police arrested another 41-year-old man for the same crime. But McKinnon says the two cases are not connected.
