Minto man faces child-porn charge - RCMP
Tommie Mcginley, 33, accused of possessing illicit material after May search of residence
A Minto man is slated to return to court next month to answer to an allegation involving child pornography, the RCMP reported Monday.
Tommie Mcginley, 33, was charged recently with possessing child pornography, the New Brunswick RCMP said in a news release Monday morning.
“The investigation began in September 2023 when police received information from RCMP's National Child Exploitation Crime Centre,” the release said, noting that the New Brunswick division’s internet child exploitation (ICE) unit was handling the case.
“On May 22, 2024, members of the ICE unit, along with the Minto RCMP and the RCMP’s digital forensic services, executed a search warrant at a residence in Minto as part of the investigation.”
Officers seized several electronic devices at the scene, it said.
The suspect was arrested at that time as well and released on conditions to appear in court later on.
Mcginley is due in court Feb. 25 to enter a plea.
