A Guelph teenager faces child pornography charges after explicit photos of his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend were shared on social media.

The Guelph Police Service began an investigation last week after a concerned mother called to report explicit photos of her 14-year-old son had been posted online. Investigation revealed the boy’s former girlfriend sent images and a video to her current boyfriend, who posted them on social media. A 14-year-old Guelph girl was arrested last week on child pornography charges.

On Sunday a 15-year-old Guelph male was located and arrested. He is charged with possessing child pornography and distributing child pornography. He will appear in a Guelph court Dec. 1.
