A Kitchener man is facing multiple charges as part of a Waterloo Regional Police Service investigation into child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

The initiative, which began in September 2025, led to the arrest of a 27-year-old Kitchener man on April 1.

He was charged with four counts of possession of child sexual abuse and exploitation material and three counts of making child sexual abuse and exploitation material available.

Charges regarding child sexual abuse and exploitation material formerly used the term “child pornography.”
