ALLISTON – Ontario Provincial Police say a veteran officer is facing criminal charges in a child exploitation investigation in Alliston, Ont.. 

Police say they carried out a search at a home in the community about 100 kilometres northwest of Toronto in June and seized several electronic devices.

They say that led to the arrest of a 54-year-old man earlier this month.

Investigators say the man has been charged with accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material and possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

They say he’s expected to appear in court in Bradford, Ont., on Oct. 8.
