Iqaluit resident faces
child porn charges
Nunatsiaq News
The RCMPs Major Crime
Unit charged Iqaluit resident James Paton, 34, with four counts of possession
of child pornography, one count of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference
on Jan. 4.
Paton is scheduled to make
his first appearance in the Nunavut Court of Justice Feb. 4.
RCMP V Division inspector
Jim MacDougall would not release details surrounding the case other than to
say the charges are not connected with a Baker Lake RCMP officer charged with
possession of pornography last week.
Child pornography is any
written or visual material that sexually depicts children under the age of 18.
Sexual interference refers
to unwanted sexual touching of a child under the age of 14.
