A local youth is facing charges following a child pornography investigation in Chatham-Kent.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said officers with the Internet Child Exploitation Unit executed a search warrant in Chatham earlier this week and arrested the youth.
The young offender is now charged with possession of child pornography and accessing child pornography. The youth has since been released from custody following a court appearance but future court information has not been released.
The identity of the accused cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
