A Winnipeg man has been charged with possessing and distributing child pornography.
Winnipeg police said Tuesday that the arrest comes after its Internet Child Exploitation Unit received information from the Cantonal Police of Aargau in Switzerland that an investigation it was conducting was linked to an IP address in Winnipeg.
A search warrant was issued to police Monday that was executed in the St. James area. Officers seized several electronic devices that had images and a video showing child sexual abuse.
Police then went to the accused’s workplace and arrested him.
Robert Glenn Winterburn, 24, has been charged with two counts of importing, distributing, selling or possessing child pornography for the purpose of distribution or sale and a charge of possession of child pornography.
Winterburn is in custody.
