Barrie Police say the arrest was made on Wednesday, April 8th after a four-month investigation that began with a report from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children regarding the upload of child sexual abuse material. Investigators say a search warrant was executed at a residence in the city’s central area in February, where several electronic devices were seized and later analyzed, leading to the identification of images and videos containing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
The unnamed accused has been charged with possession of and accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
