Arrest after child pornography

Police are investigating a case of possession and spread of material showing the sexual abuse of a minor after the arrest of a 42-year-old man.

Police said the investigation started after they were informed by Europol that a social media account user in Cyprus has uploaded a video showing the abuse of a minor.

Investigations by the Cyber Crime Unit identified the user. After a warrant was issued, he was arrested by police shortly before noon on Sunday.

A search of his home found a tablet and a mobile phone which were taken away for further examination.

Police are now investigating a case of possession of child pornography and circulating it against the 42-year-old.
