A Langley man was arrested and charged in relation to a child pornography incident.
An investigation by the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation unit and the Integrated Sexual Predator Observation Team, with assistance by the Langley RCMP, has resulted in child exploitation charges being laid against 27 year-old Sean McIntyre.
McIntyre is known to the police and has been charged with possession of child pornography and breach of recognizance.
The suspect was refused bail and ordered detained in custody until his trial, which has yet to be scheduled.
“The Integrated Child Exploitation Unit remains committed to catching people who possess child pornography. Each time those illegal images are viewed a child is re-victimized,” said Staff Sergeant Tyler Svendson, the Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the Behavioural Sciences Enforcement Group.
The Integrated Child Exploitation Unit consists of specialized investigators who are online actively seeking out offenders who access and distribute images of child pornography.
