May 23, 2017
Bible Hill, Nova Scotia

News release

On May 18, following an investigation, the RCMP's ICE Unit searched a home in Bible Hill. The RCMP Technological Crime Unit and Colchester District RCMP assisted with the search and the subsequent arrest of a 24-year-old man.

Evan James Nelson has been charged with Making Available Child Pornography and Accessing Child Pornography. He appeared in Truro Provincial Court today and was released on strict conditions. He is scheduled to return to Truro Provincial Court on May 31st.

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 sexual exploitation of children at www.cybertip.ca.
