Porn charges filed against city man

A North Bay man has been charged with pornography-related charges.

Police say they received information from the North Bay Probation office at the end of January that a man whose probation order prohibited him from possessing a computer in fact had one.

The officers commenced the investigation and concluded it on Feb. 2.

They seized the computer when it was discovered that child pornography existed on it. The computer was then sent for forensic analysis.
