Dryden man faces child porn charges

The OPP charged a 42-year-old Dryden man with child pornography charges following an undercover and online investigation.

The OPP’s Dryden detachment, child sexual exploitation and e-crime sections made the arrest Wednesday after a search of the suspect’s residence. Police say they seized two computers and an external hard drive that contained images of sexually abused children as a result of that search.

Police arrested and charged Russell Armstrong, 42, of Dryden Wednesday.

The suspect faces three counts of possession of child pornography, two counts of making available child pornography and one count of accessing child pornography.

Armstrong is expected to appear for a bail hearing Thursday in Dryden.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.
