Man re-arrested on child pornography charges at Winnipeg air force base
The 31-year-old was re-arrested Wednesday after police searched a residence at 17 Wing, a Royal Canadian Air Force Base in west Winnipeg, police said in a news release. Multiple electronic devices were seized during the search.
He now faces more charges of accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography, as well as seven counts of failure to comply with a release order.
The man had been arrested at the base on April 16, following a child pornography investigation.
He was accused of photographing an undressed child he knew and uploading the images to social media between May 2018 and April 2019. The man allegedly persuaded the child to engage in sexual activity in 2020.
Winnipeg police told CBC News at that point the 31-year-old was not a civilian.
He was released under conditions that included not accessing the internet or having access to anyone under 18 years old.
Police said they are not naming the man in order to protect the identity of the youth involved.
