A 41-year-old Quinte West man is facing child pornography-related charges after OPP executed a search warrant on a home in the city last week.
During the search last Thursday (April 2) officers seized multiple electronic devices and charged Brian Thomas Ward Junior with two counts of possessing child pornography and one count of accessing it.
He’ll be in Belleville court on June 11 to answer to those charges.
Quinte West OPP say even though we are facing challenges related to COVID-19, investigations into the sexual exploitation of children will not stop.
They are also encouraging parents to be proactive with their kids and teach them about online safety, by visiting www.cybertip.ca and www.protectchildren.ca.
