East Uniacke, Nova Scotia

News release

On March 30 the Integrated Internet Child Exploitation Unit and the RCMP ICE Unit executed a search warrant at a home in East Uniacke. With assistance from the RCMP Technological Crime Unit and Enfield District RCMP, 45-year-old Robert Lynn 'James' Murray, was arrested in his home without incident.

As a result, Murray has been charged with Making Available Child Pornography, Accessing Child Pornography and Possession of Child Pornography. Murray has been remanded and will return to Truro Provincial Court at 9:30 a.m. on Monday April 3.

In Nova Scotia, it is mandatory for citizens to report suspected child pornography. This means that anyone who encounters child pornography material or recordings must report it to the police. Failing to report suspicious activity and materials could result in penalties similar to failure to report child abuse set out in the Children and Family Services Act. The RCMP encourages citizens to be a voice for children who are victims of sexual exploitation by reporting any suspected offences to your local police or by using Canada's National tip line for reporting online sexual exploitation of children at www.cybertip.ca.
