A Truro Heights man has been arrested for child pornography for the second time.

RCMP say officials searched a home yesterday after being notified by law enforcement in the US as well as a social media platorm that the man was communicating online for a sexual purpose.

The 49-year-old suspect is facing several charges:

• Possession of Child Pornography
• Transmitting Child Pornography
• Luring a Child
• Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a Child
• Agreement to Commit an Offence Against a Child
• Failure to Comply with Prohibition Order

He remains in custody and will return to court in January.
