His trial got underway Monday with Ryckman acting as his own lawyer.

But it has been delayed until Nov. 23 while he undergoes a psychiatric assessment.

Ryckman was charged in August 2009 after a memory stick was found in a study centre at the University of Lethbridge.

The device contained several images of child pornography.
