An Essa Township man is facing charges, following an undercover child porn investigation.

OPP officers searched a home in the township on Wednesday, seizing four computers and an external media device. Police believe the electronics contain images of child sexual abuse.

The accused, a 61-year-old man, has been the subject of an online undercover child pornography operation by the Greater Sudbury Police Service.

He has been charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of making available child pornography, and two counts of accessing child pornography.

The accused will appear in court on April 17.
