A man arrested following a child porn bust in Richmond Co. is expected to return to court Wednesday.
Ryan Thomas Stone, 40, faces four charges- possession and distribution of child porn, making arrangements to commit an offence related to child porn and making sexually explicit material available to a child.
Police say they charged Stone as the result of an investigation that started in Middle Sackville, and continued with the search a home in Louisdale in Oct. 2017; he appeared in court for a bail hearing the same day as his arrest.
He was released on several conditions, including no contact with children younger than 16, staying away from areas where children gather, staying off the Internet and digital networks, and to not have any device with Internet access.
Stone pleaded not guilty to all of his charges in September; his two-day trial is scheduled to get underway in Dartmouth Provincial Court.
