N.B. news: Man sentenced for child pornography charges [Video]

A 20-year-old New Brunswick man has been sentenced in connection with a child pornography investigation.

The investigation into the man, which was led by the RCMP’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit, began in June 2022 after information was received from the force’s National Child Exploitation Crime Centre.

Police say the man was also a suspect in another investigation led by the Caraquet RCMP.

That investigation was related to the “modification and the sharing of photos of youths online in a sexually explicit manner.”

Police executed a search warrant at a residence on Route 345 in Évangéline on Dec. 13, 2022.

A man, who was 18-years-old at the time, was arrested at the scene.

Police say they seized several electronic devices as part of their investigation.

The man was later released on conditions, pending a future court appearance.
