Sudbury man Peter McGann charged for child pornography

Between the 1st and 18th of January 2011, officers from the Greater Sudbury Police Service Cyber Crime Unit conducted an area-wide sweep in relation to information identifying suspects involved in child pornography offences.

Peter McGANN was subsequently charged with the Accessing Child Pornography.

The accused attended court on the 6th of January 2011 and was released on bail.
