On February 14, 2024, members of the ICE Unit executed a search warrant on the digital device that was found in the 28-year-old man's possession.
On October 2, 2024, 28-year-old Jeremy Christian Thompson was charged with possession of child pornography. He remains in custody on an unrelated matter, and will appear in Moncton Provincial Court on October 18, 2024.
