A North Battleford man will get jail time for two child pornography charges.
Brian J. Simon entered guilty pleas to possession and accessing child pornography in North Battleford Provincial Court Thursday.
He was sentenced to 120 days in jail, followed by two years probation. Simon must also report to the sex offender registry for life.
Two other charges, making available child pornography as well as a breach charge, were withdrawn at the conclusion of sentencing.
Simon was arrested and charged in September 2013 following execution of a search by the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit along with North Battleford RCMP. The charges stemmed from alleged activity between July and September of last year.
Simon had earlier entered not guilty pleas and the case had been scheduled to go to trial Thursday. However, Crown and defence counsel indicated they had been in discussions towards a resolution of the case.
