A 70-year-old man from Sussex Corner, N.B., has been sentenced to three years in prison for child pornography offences.
New Brunswick RCMP say the sentence is the result of an investigation that began in late 2016 and culminated on June 8, 2017, when officers executed a search warrant at a home in Sussex Corner, a town 50 minutes northeast of Saint John.
Police say they seized a series of electronic devices and the man was arrested.
