On Wednesday, police announced that they had arrested a 30-year-old Kitchener man in connection with an investigation that began last month after they received word from the National Child Exploitation Centre about someone who had shared and possessed child pornography.

The man was arrested on Wednesday morning and has been charged with making child pornography, possession of child pornography (two counts) and making child pornography available.
