The accused, who now lives outside Waterloo Region, was originally arrested in July on charges of being in possession of child pornography. The Waterloo Regional Police Internet Child Exploitation Unit arrested him once again Thursday on six new charges – including four charges of making child pornography and two more of making child pornography available, along with several other charges.

He was on bail at the time of the second arrest. Police say the suspect’s home was searched last summer in connection with child pornography complaints from September 2016 to July of 2017. Police seized computer equipment from the man’s home.
