A 39-year-old man faces charges after police found evidence of child sexual abuse material at a home in Greater Sudbury.
On June 10, Greater Sudbury Police Service Internet Child Exploitation and computer forensics units, working in collaboration with our Emergency Response and Intelligence Units executed a search warrant at a residence in Greater Sudbury.
The man is charged with five counts of accessing child pornography, five counts of possessing child pornography and one count of making available child pornography.
He appeared in bail court on June 11 to answer to the charges.
**Sudbury.com is opting to change how we describe material that shows the sexual abuse of children, as we feel “child pornography” is an inaccurate term that equates sexual abuse with legal pornography. We feel “child sexual abuse material” is a more accurate term. However, under the Criminal Code, ‘child pornography’ is how such charges are described, so when listing charges only, Sudbury.com will use the term ‘child pornography.’
