A Canadian soldier scheduled to start a tour of duty in Afghanistan in February is staying behind to answer to a child pornography charge.
RCMP have charged a 26-year-old with one count of possessing, accessing and making child pornography available on the internet.
The Internet Child Exploitation Unit started the investigation in December, and officers made the arrest Jan.17 after executing a search warrant at the man's home, said RCMP Sgt. Line Karpish.
"We have seized computer and computer-related equipment during the execution of the search warrant," Karpish said.
"We still need to go through the computer in great detail to establish exactly what is in the computer, and perhaps down the road the possibility exists that other charges may be laid."
A military spokeswoman confirmed the man is a corporal with the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry at Canadian Forces Base Shilo, just east of Brandon, Man.
He was supposed to go overseas in the next troop rotation.
The case is not related to an international child-pornography investigation that resulted in several Canadian arrests earlier this month, Karpish said.

Soldier faces child porn charges

A Shilo-based soldier who was about to be deployed to Afghanistan has been charged with possessing child pornography.
The RCMP child-exploitation unit arrested the 26-year-old soldier last Thursday at Canadian Forces Base Shilo.
The base is about 200 kilometres west of Winnipeg.
The Mounties say they began investigating the soldier last month.
They say he was found with folders on his computer containing images of child pornography that were available to be viewed by others on the Internet.
Timothy Gallacher has been charged with possessing, accessing and making child pornography available on the Internet.
The military confirmed Gallacher is a member of the Second Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in Shilo, and that he was to deploy to Afghanistan shortly.
Gallacher will make his first court appearance March 6 in Brandon. -- CanWest News Service
Now to be accurate he is not a Patrica but a member in a group that assists us in duties not performed by Infantry but still under the overall command of 2PPCLI.
