A 39-year old Greater Sudbury man has been arrested and handed 27 child porn charges.

Sudbury Police seized computer and data storage in December, 2016 and arrested the man on Tuesday.

Police also say 27-year-old Scott Ersman of Greater Sudbury is facing charges following an investigation into the distribution of child pornography through Canadian and Russian websites.

Sudbury Police worked with the FBI and allege Ersman used the Internet in businesses that offered a free wireless connection to advertise and distribute child pornography.
