The Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit has charged a Moosomin man with two child pornography offences following an investigation into the online accessing and transmitting of child pornography through a popular online social media application.
Mark Knutilla, 44, of Moosomin was arrested and has been charged with possession of child pornography and making available child pornography.
On May 27 members of the ICE Unit executed a search warrant at a residence in Moosomin that was identified as the location where the offences were occurring. Electronic items were located and found to contain child pornography and evidence of the offences.
Knutilla was released from custody and placed on numerous conditions by a Justice of the Peace and will next be appearing in Moosomin Circuit Court on July 20.
The Saskatchewan ICE Unit is comprised of investigators from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Regina Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service, and Prince Albert Police Service. Their mandate is to investigate crimes involving the abuse and/or exploitation of children on the Internet.
