A Winnipeg man is accused of using online apps to distribute child pornography.
Police say the man used a free online calling and messaging service to distribute 160 child pornography images on Sept. 17, 2017.
He then used a social media app to distribute a child pornography image later that month and then a video in October, investigators say.
Police started investigating after the administrator of a social media app called to report the man's activities.
Police raided a home in the Fort Richmond area on April 10, seizing computers and other electronic devices.
A 20-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday on charges including possession of child pornography and three counts of selling child pornography.
He has been detained in custody.
