A 36-year-old Barrie man is facing several child pornography-related charges after police executed a search warrant and seized several of the man’s devices.
According to Barrie police, the man was arrested on June 11, following a lengthy child pornography investigation.
Police say in 2016, officers received a tip that child pornography had been uploaded from Skype. The Barrie police internet child exploitation unit, along with the OPP tech crime unit, launched an investigation which resulted in a search warrant being issued.
During the search, officers seized several devices, and had each of them forensically analyzed. As a result, police arrested the man.
According to police, the suspect is now facing a long list of charges, including accessing child pornography, distributing child pornography and sexual assault.
Police say the accused is scheduled to appear in a Barrie court on June 12.
