Ottawa man arrested in Barrie on child exploitation charges
A 34-year-old man from Ottawa is headed back to the nation's capital after being arrested in Barrie in connection with an internet child exploitation investigation.
On Thursday, members of the Barrie Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit worked with the Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit to execute a search warrant at a Barrie residence.
Several computer devices were seized as a result of the investigation for forensic analysis.
The accused faces several criminal offences, including sexual assault, making child pornography, and making sexually explicit material available to a child. He will await a bail hearing in Ottawa.
