Evidence obtained from KIK Messenger

A man from Beamsville is facing child pornography charges.

Last month, police launched an investigation into the exploitation of children.

Earlier today, officers searched a home in Beamsville.

Detectives found evidence from the instant messaging application KIK Messenger, and identified an anonymous account that contained sexual content of children.

Hunter Beaupre-Peters, 25, faces the following charges:

Possess Child Pornography
Access Child Pornography
Make Child Pornography Available

A bail hearing will take place later today.
