Leon Paul Fraser of Algarkirk, U.K., was in a Dartmouth court Thursday for a bail hearing. He has been charged with making child pornography and making arrangements to commit offences of sexual interference and sexual assault.
Fraser was arrested on Oct. 5 while trying to leave the Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
