On February 2 in Moncton Provincial Court, the individual was charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.
He is scheduled to return to court on May 23.
The New Brunswick RCMP’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit includes members from the Saint John Police Force and the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force.
