SURREY – Federal Mounties say a 52-year-old man has been charged with possession and distribution of child porn following a multi-jurisdictional investigation by the RCMP’s Child Exploitation Unit, after getting information from the Mission RCMP detachment.

According to a statement from Constable Solana Paré, media relations officer for the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) unit, police received information in March 2025 from Mission RCMP about a suspect believed to be living in B.C. who had allegedly sent child sexual abuse and exploitation material by mail. ICE detectives were able to identify a male suspect who lived in the Surrey area.

On Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the BC RCMP Integrated Child Exploitation Unit arrested a male suspect in Maple Ridge and executed a search warrant at a Surrey home, with assistance from the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (ERT), Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, Ridge Meadows RCMP and the RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit.

That same day, Crown counsel in B.C. approved two charges under the Criminal Code against Jason Victor Horn (previously known as Jason Hornischfeger), a 52-year-old man from the Surrey area:

  • One count of Distribution of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Material, contrary to section 163.1(3)
  • One Count of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Material, contrary to section 163.1(4)

Following his arrest, Horn was remanded into custody.

Authorities say the investigation remains ongoing, but no further information can be released now that matter is now before the court.

Anyone with information about Jason Horn (formerly Hornischfeger) relating to this investigation, is asked to contact their local police.
