A Camperdown, N.S., man has been charged with child pornography offences.

The RCMP’s Provincial Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit executed a search warrant at a home on Camperdown Road on Thursday and arrested a 27-year-old man.

“Investigators were directed to the residence after a social media application notified law enforcement that child pornography had been transmitted using their service,” reads a news release from the Nova Scotia RCMP.

Randy Rehberg has been charged with:

• possession of child pornography
• distribution of child pornography
• make written child pornography

Rehberg was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in Bridgewater provincial court on Sept. 3.

“In Nova Scotia it is mandatory for citizens to report suspected child pornography; anyone who comes across child pornography material or recordings must report it to the police. Failure to report could result in penalties similar to those for failure to report child abuse set out in the Child and Family Services Act,” reads the release.

Suspected offences can be reported to your local police or to Canada’s national tipline.
