A 59 year old North Bay man is facing child pornography charges after an investigation conducted by the Greater Sudbury Police Cyber Crime Unit and the North Bay Police Criminal Investigation Service. Joseph D Pezzola has been charged with two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography.

Police say child pornography files were accessed through an on line file sharing network and numerous files of child pornography were saved on both a personal computer and on DVD’s.

Police say they seized three computer towers, a thumb drive containing child pornography and over 500 DVD’s for forensic analysis.

North Bay Police say if you know of a child at immediate risk of on line sexual assault or exploitation call 9-1-1 immediately.
