HALIFAX -- A man in Five Islands, N.S., has been arrested for child pornography offences and the sexual assault of a child.
Fifty-year-old Myles Lewis was arrested at his home without incident.
He has been charged with possession of child pornography and transmitting child pornography.
Lewis was also charged in relation to a historic sexual assault on a child.
That investigation had started last year when it was reported to police.
Lewis has been remanded until his next court appearance on Tuesday.
RCMP say their investigators were directed to a residence after receiving information from the National Child Exploitation and Crime Centre last month.
