THUNDER BAY -- A 30-year-old city man has been arrested and charged for possession and attempted distribution of child pornography.

Thunder Bay Police Service officials say members of its cyber crime unit began monitoring file sharing networks and spotted an offer to download suspected child pornogrpahy from a local IP address.

The investigation led to the Dec. 17 search of a Lake Street home.

That search resulted in the discovery of child pornography being located on a computer in the home.

The computer, two external hard drives and two USB flash drives were seized for further examination.

30 year old Justin John Mach was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography and making child pornography available.

He appeared in court Thursday morning and has been released.

He will be back in court on Jan. 9, 2015.

None of the charges have been tested in court.
