On the 7th of May 2015, Barrie Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit commenced an investigation regarding online activity of child pornography. As part of the investigation police executed a search warrant at a Barrie home on the 15 of July 2015. Police determined that a male, 36 years of age, was responsible for the on-line activity and he was arrested and held for a bail hearing.

The male was charged with 5 counts possession of child pornography, one count of make available child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography. During the search at the residence, police located a controlled substance and as a result the male is facing one count of possession under Controlled Substance Act.

The Barrie resident is anticipated to be in bail court on the 16th July 2015.

The investigation will now require an examination of computers seized to provide further insight into the accused activities on-line.
