A Thunder Bay man has been arrested on child porn charges.

Police from the Cyber Crime Unit started their investigation in January after they got tips that a local resident was making files of child exploitation available online.

Investigators confirmed more details around the case and were issued a search warrant for a home along Dorothy Street.

The 63 year old man was arrested on March 1 and charged with possession, making available and accessing child pornography.

He’ll be staying with police until a future court date.
