Callam Rodya, a.k.a. Callam Senyk-O'Flanagan, was not present in court for his first scheduled appearance on child pornography-related charges on March 20.

The 32-year-old Sudbury man, who has been suspended from his job as a CTV reporter, is facing a number of charges, including three counts each of possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, making available child pornography and one count of possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance (cocaine).

Appearing in court in Sudbury on March 20 on Rodya's behalf was attorney Alex Toffoli, who requested that the matter be adjourned until April 10.

"We have not received disclosure on this, this is a complicated matter," said Toffoli.

Rodya was released on $1,500 bail under the supervision of his mother-in-law on Feb. 14 with a number of conditions. His surety was later transferred to his mother.

He is prohibited from attending any public area where children under the age of 18 might be present, such as playgrounds, beaches, high school or daycare centre.

He cannot be in the company of any child under 18 years of age unless under the direct supervision of an adult or guardian of youth or child.

He is not to possess or consume any unlawful drugs or substances.

He is prohibited from possessing or using any computer device, including smartphones, laptops or desktop computers or video game systems capable of accessing the internet, unless it's at work and for work purposes.

He cannot have an account with any internet service provider, and his assurer must protect any device capable of accessing the internet with a password.

The matter will be adjourned to April 10, in courtroom E in Sudbury.
