Brennan Oake, 22, was charged with distribution and possession of child pornography. He was also charged with luring a person under the age of 16, providing sexually explicit material to a child, publishing an intimate image without consent and uttering threats.

Oake is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
