SASKATOON – A Saskatchewan man who has been on parole after serving a lengthy prison term for possessing child pornography is back in custody, facing new charges. In 2012, Shane Dale Pattison was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to 53 child pornography related charges.
As a result of that investigation, four children were rescued in B.C. and the U.S.
Pattison was released from jail in September.
