Identical twin brothers Ronald and Donald Croft are local D-list celebrities known for living their lives in tandem. They wear their wavy brown hair past their shoulders, dress alike, play in a two-man band, and they've had spot roles in children's television shows and commercials.
Now the 40-year-old brothers have something else to share: They've both been charged with possessing and accessing child pornography.
Detective Constable Jeff Kidd of Toronto's Sex Crimes Unit said police could still charge them with producing child pornography if they discover the brothers knew the victims pictured in the photographs.
He said the men have worked with many children in the entertainment industry, and has asked for anyone with more information to come forward.
Ronald was in an episode of the popular CTV show Degrassi: The Next Generation last December and both brothers appeared in the teen comedy True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet a year ago. Their website, thetwinbrothers.com, also boasts about their roles in the CBC show This Is Wonderland and appearances in commercials for Kellogg's cereal and Adidas.
Police said they were concerned that the brothers have "had access to children" through a piano class run by a family member.
"They've had a lot of contact with kids - let's put it that way," said Det. Constable Kidd.
Seema Jaura, a next-door neighbour, said the twins share a van that has the brothers' names and listings for piano classes and the multilevel marketing company Amway painted on its side.
"Oh, they have piano classes at their home and have a board displayed outside about piano classes," she said.
Toronto police arrested the pair May 28, following a three-year investigation that started outside the country.
Police searched a house on Lupin Drive in Scarborough and seized several hard drives and storage media filled with images of infants to 18-year-olds.
They only announced their arrests yesterday because they had been working with other police units to identify the images and get more information about the twins' backgrounds.
