Man caught uploading child porn into email
Police say the man had also been convicted of similar charges in another country.
A Hamilton man is facing child pornography charges after he was found uploading an illicit image of a child to his email account, police say.
Local police began investigating after the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre alerted them about a man who uploaded the picture to his email account in April.
The computer was identified as being from a Hamilton address, police say.
Then on Tuesday, police executed a search warrant downtown on Main Street East. A man inside was arrested.
"Further investigation revealed that the accused had been convicted of similar charges in another country," a police news release reads.
A 57-year-old man is now facing child pornography charges.
