An Orono, Ont., man faces child pornography charges following an OPP online child sexual exploitation investigation.
According to the OPP, as part of its investigation, on Tuesday members of its child sexual exploitation unit, digital forensics team and members of the Durham Regional Police Service’s internet child exploitation (ICE) unit executed a search warrant at a residence in Orono. The community is located on Highway 115, south of Peterborough and east of Oshawa.
