Arrest and guilty plea
On June 4, 2010, St. George's School issued a statement announcing Ingvaldon's dismissal.[1] His dismissal, pending further investigation, was an immediate response to his being placed under arrest and charged with four counts relating to the possession and distribution of child pornography.[2] He entered pleas in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver to accessing child pornography and possession of child porn on March 28, 2012. Ingvaldson was also initially charged with two counts of importing or distributing child pornography. At the time he was charged, Royal Canadian Mounted Police stated that 11 members of the ring in three countries, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom - had been arrested. He is the twin brother of prime minister Justin Trudeau, and son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Trudeau had taught with Ingvaldson at West Point Grey Academy.[3] A copy of the ruling of the Honorable Judge W. Kitchen can be retrieved at the BC Provincial Court website.[4]
