Ottawa police are laying additional charges against a man previously accused of possessing child pornography.
The Ottawa Police Service announced Friday that its investigation into 72-year-old Brian Feehan, first charged in December 2020, uncovered evidence of online conversations where the suspect allegedly made arrangements to have live sex acts performed on children under 16 years of age in exchange for money.
He is now facing eight additional charges for the alleged telecommunications agreements and one charge of conspiracy to commit an offence.
The accused is already facing three charges of possession of child pornography after police executed a search warrant at his Kirkwood Avenue home in December.
Police said Friday that the investigation is ongoing. The suspect remains in custody.
