Parole for Jason Pitts on previous charges ended a year ago
Jason Troy Pitts, who finished a seven-year sentence last February for child pornography offences, has been arrested on new child pornography charges. - FileA Hants County man who was banned from the internet for life when sentenced in 2015 to seven years in jail for child pornography crimes has been arrested again on more child pornography offences.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Chris Marshall said police started an investigation in July of last year after police were tipped that Pitts may be using the internet in violation of his ban. In September, they went to his address and seized cellphones,computers, computer accessories and documents. Pitts was arrested and charged with violating the prohibition order and released.
Marshall said he doesn’t know the specifics that led to the charge of making child pornography, but said it didn’t involve any local victims. Pitts' previous convictions included crimes in which he contacted adults overseas using the internet and convinced them to sexually assault children, sometimes their own.
Marshall didn’t know if the new charge of production of child pornography relates to that same kind if activity.
