A St. Catharines man has been arrested for accessing and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

Niagara police’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) and Technological Crime units executed a search warrant on Tuesday at a local residence and arrested 67-year-old Alan Albert Sider.

In April of this year, detectives assigned to the ICE unit began an investigation that led to Sider’s arrest.

Sider was set to appear for a bail hearing Tuesday at the court house in St. Catharines.

Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to contact the ICE unit at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009128.
