  • Man sentenced in child pornography

A New Westminster man has been sentenced to 10 months in jail after pleading guilty to possession child pornography.

Police say 51-year-old Scott Harrison was originally arrested in April 2020 after officers begun investigating a case of child porn being uploaded onto the Internet.

A statement from New Westminster police says the case is a reminder for B-C residents to remain vigilant in fighting sexual exploitation of children online.

Police say parents and others working with children should familiarize themselves with ways to protect youth from becoming victims of exploitation.
