Police in Ottawa say a 77-year-old man is facing a child pornography charge after he was allegedly spotted viewing illicit images in a public library.
Investigators say a member of the public reported seeing the man accessing what appeared to be child porn on a library computer last Friday.
By the time police arrived at the west-end branch, they say the suspect had left the scene.

The man was due in court Wednesday for a bail hearing.
Police have not identified the suspect.
