A 26-year-old man from La Prairie has been arrested yet again in connection with child pornography.

The Surete du Quebec said Pierre-Yves Cormier appeared at the Longueuil courthouse Wednesday to face 16 charges including production, distribution and making child pornography accessible, as well as breaking promises to a judge.

Cormier was arrested for a second time on Tuesday. He had initially been arrested and charged in April 2016 for, among other charges, possession and distribution of child porn.

At that time, he was released on his own recognizance and under court conditions.

That arrest came after investigators infiltrated a chat site in February.Police searched the suspect's home and computer equipment was seized for analysis.

Since 2010, the SQ has trained 250 investigators working to help stop the sexual exploitation of children on the internet.
