Sex offender postpones bail hearing
Brady Matthew Worden, 30, of Burton, in custody on allegations of child-pornography offences, violations of court order barring him from contact with children, internet access
A Burton man scheduled to go through a bail hearing Thursday asked a court instead to postpone the proceeding so he could better prepare a proposal for his release.
Brady Matthew Worden, 30, of Route 102, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by video conference Thursday from a custodial facility, scheduled for a show-cause hearing - more commonly known as a bail hearing.
He faces two sets of charges, both laid by the New Brunswick RCMP’s internet child exploitation unit.
The first file alleges he possessed child pornography in Fredericton and breached an October 2016 court order prohibiting him from accessing the internet, both between June 24 and Sept. 24; and that he transmitted child porn Sept. 6, all in Fredericton.
He was free on conditions on those charges until late last week, when he was detained on new charges.
