Nebraska child porn investigation ends in Gander man's arrest
A man from central Newfoundland is facing charges of possessing child pornography and luring a child, following an investigation which began in the United States.
It began when the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and RCMP's joint internet child exploitation unit received a tip last year from the Saline County Sheriff's Office in Nebraska.
The unit followed up on the complaint and searched a house in Gander on April 16.
A 29-year-old from the town has been charged.
He was released from custody on conditions and a future court date.
The investigation is continuing, police said.
The RNC-RCMP unit is reminding parents to be aware of their children's activities online, and to speak to them about the dangers of talking with strangers.
