A Regina man has been charged with the possession of child sexual abuse material, following an investigation.

On Dec. 10, investigators with the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit executed a search warrant on a home in Regina, where police seized electronic devices from 32-year-old Neil Thomas Cowan, according to a Saskatoon Police Service news release.

As a result, Cowan now faces charges for accessing and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

The 32-year-old Regina resident has been released on court-imposed conditions, police say.

His next appearance is on Jan. 20 in Regina Provincial Court.

The ICE unit is made up of investigators from the RCMP and members of the Regina and Saskatoon police departments.
