Guelph teenager faces child pornography charges

A teenager is facing child pornography charges after Guelph Police received a tip from a US-based organization.

Guelph Police Service said they were contacted in October by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the images, which were uploaded to a social media site in August.

Investigators identified the person who uploaded the images and arrested the 18-year-old Guelph teenager on Thursday. Police said he was 17 when the images were uploaded to the site.

He was charged with possession of child pornography and making available child pornography.
