London man charged in child pornography investigation

A 32-year-old man is facing three child pornography-related charges after an investigation by London police.

Police launched the probe after receiving a tip about suspected possession and distribution of child pornography from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, an American non-profit dedicated to helping kids.

On Wednesday, officers with the internet child exploitation unit searched a home on Langarth Street West in London, seizing various electronic devices.

A London man has been charged with unlawfully possessing child pornography, unlawfully accessing child pornography and distributing child pornography.

He has since been released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in London court in relation to the charges on August 31.
