A 51-year-old man has been sentenced to three years in prison in connection with an investigation into child sexual abuse.

RCMP launched an investigation in early 2019. A home in Ammon was searched in May of the same year, and Wayne Wilfred Toole was arrested at the scene.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced this week to 36 months for possession of child pornography and 36 months for making available child pornography. The sentences will be served concurrently.

Toole has been added to the National Sex Offender Registry for life. Following his release from prison, he will have to follow conditions set out by the court, including not being around children.

The New Brunswick RCMP’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit includes members from the Saint John Police Force and the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force. The RCMP’s Digital Forensic Services Unit, the RCMP Southeast District, and the RCMP National Child Exploitation Crime Centre were also involved in this investigation.
