Nova Scotia Man Faces Expanded Child Pornography Charges Following Canada-U.S. Investigation
Bryce Melanson, 26, has been remanded in custody and is set to appear in court in January after multiple charges linked to child luring and pornography were filed over the past year.
- Bryce Melanson, a 26-year-old from Springhill, Nova Scotia, is facing multiple child pornography and luring charges after a year-long investigation involving Canadian and U.S. authorities.
- The investigation began in late 2023 when U.S. officials alerted Canadian RCMP about Melanson's alleged travel to meet a youth for sexual purposes and possession of child pornography upon his return to Canada.
- Melanson has been charged in several stages throughout 2024, including luring a child, possession of child pornography, and making sexually explicit material available to a minor.
- Authorities allege Melanson violated his release conditions multiple times, including continuing to contact the youth victim and transmitting child pornography via social media, leading to additional charges.
- Melanson has been remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in Amherst provincial court on January 28, 2025, as investigations continue with cooperation between Canadian and U.S. agencies.
