An Ottawa man accused of making child pornography and putting it online was charged by police on Saturday.

Police say the 41-year-old's name cannot be published in order to protect the young victim.

The man is charged with the following:

  • making child pornography
  • distributing child pornography
  • possessing child pornography
  • sexual interference
  • invitation to sexual touching
  • sexual assault

Police became aware of the alleged offences on Friday and went ahead with a search warrant Saturday. They seized three computers and what they've identified as "various digital media."

Anyone who suspects child abuse or exploitation is encouraged to contact Ottawa police immediately.
