SMITHS FALLS, Ont. — A 26-year-old Smiths Falls man is in custody, facing a dozen child pornography-related charges following a five-week investigation.

Smiths Falls Police began an investigation last month after a tip from federal authorities in the U.S.

Police arrested the man, Wednesday after searching a McGill Street home.

Daniel Roger Daoust, 26, is charged with three counts of possessing child pornography, two counts of publishing child porn, as well as several charges of breaking court conditions.

He remains in custody ahead of a bail hearing in Perth on February 23.
