Someone in North Bay faces multiple porn charges, but because of the age, police will not be revealing the name.

Following an ongoing investigation, the North Bay Police arrested and charged a young person with two counts each of making, possessing and distributing child pornography.

They say the young person captured explicit imagery of other young persons in October 2016 and shared the photos with others.

The accused was held in custody for a bail hearing.

In accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the North Bay Police Service will not be releasing any information that may lead to the identification of the young person accused of committing these crimes.
