Man charged in child pornography

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Oct, 2024 11:59 AM

Police in New Westminster say a 45-year-old man has been charged with one count of possession of child pornography.

They say in a statement that the man was arrested last July and he's since been released from custody with several "strict" court-ordered conditions.

Police say he is not allowed to communicate or be alone with anyone under 18.

The statement says investigations into child sexual exploitation are becoming more frequent and resource intensive with what police describe as "new factors," such as the use of artificial intelligence to generate images.
