A 36-year-old man from Saint John, N.B., has been charged with making child pornography and accessing child pornography.

On June 20, 2018, Patrick Kingsley Knowles was charged with one count of making child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography. He is currently in custody on an unrelated matter.

The New Brunswick RCMP's Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit began an investigation in August 2016 after receiving information from a policing agency in the United Kingdom. The offences are alleged to have occurred during the summer of 2016.

The New Brunswick RCMP's Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit, which includes members from the Saint John and Kennebecasis Regional Police Forces, along with the RCMP's Technological Crime Unit were involved in the investigation.
