A 44-year-old Greater Sudbury man was arrested this week and charged with child pornography offences.
This month, Greater Sudbury Police Service’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit was contacted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police regarding a Greater Sudbury resident who they said was distributing child pornography on a chat messaging application.
On June 10, officers with the ICE Unit with the assistance of the police Tactical Unit, the Integrated Crime Team – Intelligence Branch, the Criminal Investigation Division – Major Crime Section and the Computer Forensic Unit, executed a search warrant at a residence in Greater Sudbury.
As a result, a 44-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.
The man appeared in bail court on June 10 to answer to the charges. A publication ban was ordered by the Justice of the Peace prohibiting any details of the investigation from being released.
