TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A Canadian man faces an array of child pornography charges after a massive international investigation that could involve more than 100 victims in Canada and England, authorities said Friday.

Mark Gary Bedford, 21, is accused of talking young females -- some as young as 9 years old -- into exposing themselves over an Internet webcam, and then threatening them with rape, bodily harm and death if they did not cooperate, police said at a news conference.

"I have never seen this many victims involved, and I'm safe to say that at this point and time in this early stage of this investigation we're looking at well in excess of 100," said Ontario Police Det. Sgt. Frank Goldschmidt.

Bedford is charged with two counts of child luring, two counts of possessing child pornography, three counts of making child pornography, two counts of distributing child pornography and three counts of extortion.

Police allege he operated under the screen names Marco1812000 and Supalover666 and would hack into his victims' e-mail accounts to access their buddy lists.

The nine-month probe by police in Canada and Britain could lead to additional charges.

The alleged victims are girls between the ages of 9 and 15 and live in Edmonton, Sault Ste. Marie, Kingston, Ottawa and the region of Kent, east of London, England.

"It's obvious that this type of Internet crime is without borders," Goldschmidt said.

Bedford is in custody in Kingston, Ontario, and is set to appear in court there Monday.

Police said the accused was unemployed, living at home with his parents and that he spent a lot of time on the Internet.

"It just seems that some of the kids that are involved in this type of activity these days really don't feel like they're doing anything wrong because they're in the comfort of their own home," he said.

"It amazes me to this day that parents allow their children to be locked up in their bedrooms with state-of-the-art computer equipment and then they get involved in this type of activity."
