Police in London, Ont., say a 45-year-old man is facing nine charges related to child pornography following a months-long investigation.
The investigation was led by the police service’s internet child exploitation (ICE) unit with the charges stemming from information that was provided by their national counterparts.
Between November 2020 and June 2021, the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre informed the ICE unit of a person who was allegedly uploading media files of suspected pornography through multiple social media applications.
