Broadview Raid Takedown: Toronto Police Internet Exploitation Unit Lays 68 Charges Against Metin Ugur as 13 Secondary Victims Uncovered
TORONTO — A specialized digital forensics investigation executed by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit has unsealed 61 new criminal charges against a Toronto resident following the discovery of a widespread online coercion ring.
The major update brings the total docket against 57-year-old Metin Ugur to 68 federal counts. Investigators exposed a complex digital network where the accused deployed multiple female and male fake personas across encrypted social media, gaming, and messaging platforms to manipulate underage victims nationwide.
Broadview and Danforth Raid & Digital Persona Matrix
The intelligence file opened in March 2026 when TPS ICE analysts received automated alerts regarding illicit digital material uploaded to social media servers. On April 16, 2026, tactical officers breached a residential address in the Broadview Avenue and Danforth Avenue sector. Forensic teams seized encrypted hardware, mobile devices, and storage arrays on site.
Subsequent forensic decryption conducted over the past three months unsealed 13 additional identified victims. Detectives revealed Ugur used false handles—including the female persona “Ava” (`Hey_woolfie`) and male personas “Chase” (`Chase_woolf`, `Chase_woolf13`) and “Noah” (`Noah.scout`, `Noah_scout_13`)—across platforms like Snapchat, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, and Fortnite to establish trust and exploit targets.
