Format: photo-mode post; `yt-dlp` did not download a video, but the public rehydration JSON exposed one image URL and metadata.

## Visible image text

The image shows Justin Trudeau and RCMP/Mountie imagery with a `BREAKING NEWS` banner and claims a new lawsuit says the former Canadian prime minister was caught by RCMP accessing illegal child-abuse material during his time in office. The image itself gives no case number, documents, dates, court finding or RCMP statement.

## Primary verification

- Ontario Courts public case view confirms: `BROWN v. TORONTO STAR NEWSPAPERS LTD.`, `SC-26-00004371-0000`, Small Claims, filed `08/04/2026 12:24`, active.
- Jeff Brown’s Substack is the apparent originating claim source.
- Wiretap Media and Daily Telegraph NZ repeat the allegation but also acknowledge it is unproven / early-stage.
- No official RCMP confirmation, criminal charge, or court finding was found in this pass.

## Handling note

Because the post makes a severe criminal allegation against a living public figure, the article avoids presenting the allegation as fact and uses records-wanted language.
