Smith Falls man hit with child porn charges

SMITHS FALLS - A 50-year-old Smiths Falls man has been charged with multiple child pornography offences after a four-month online undercover investigation, led by the Ontario Provincial Police's Child Sexual Exploitation Unit

On Wednesday, March 19, police executed a search warrant at a Smiths Falls home. Police say a smartphone and other items containing images and movies of child sexual abuse were seized.

Raymond Clare Abel is charged with one count of making available child pornography, two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography.

He will appear in a Perth bail court on Monday.

Abel is the fourth local man to be charged with child pornography offences this month. Another Smiths Falls man and two Brockville men were arrested and charged in connection with separate investigations earlier this month.

Police have assured that the multiplicity of child pornography arrests does not indicate any kind of organized child pornography ring in the area.
