A 21-year-old Welland man has been arrested on child pornography charges.

Back in March, Niagara Police launched an investigation into the sexual exploitation of children.

The investigation led to a Welland resident.

Yesterday, officers arrested 21-year-old Pearson James Almas, and charged him with Possession of Child Pornography, and Unlawfully Access Child Pornography.

He is scheduled for a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.
