Former reporter Callam Rodya's child pornography case will return to court April 17 to potentially set a date for a plea.
His matter was before the court Wednesday morning, a week after he was expected to plead guilty on Jan. 7. However, that didn't happen, and his case was adjourned to Jan. 15.
Rodya is charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, three counts of accessing child pornography, three counts of making available child pornography and one count of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine).
At the time of his arrest last February, Greater Sudbury Police said in October 2018, the Cyber Crime Unit identified a Greater Sudbury resident downloading child pornography using a file-sharing site between October 2018 and February 2019.
On Feb. 13, 2019, a search warrant was executed at a Greater Sudbury residence and reported officers found evidence of child pornography located on computers seized in the search. During the execution of the search warrant, detectives reported locating a small baggy containing what was suspected to be cocaine inside the residence.
Rodya was a reporter with CTV in Sudbury at the time of his arrest and is a former reporter at Sudbury.com.
