Perth man charged over child exploitation

A Perth man has been charged with a number of child exploitation offences after allegedly uploading more than 200 images of children to social media websites.

The 56-year-old man from Spearwood is alleged to have uploaded the images between August and October 2014, and was charged after a computer and electronic storage devices were seized from his home in July.

He has been charged with 13 counts of using a carriage service to distribute child exploitation material and one count of possessing child exploitation material.
