Trial date set in child porn case

James Andrew Paton, 34, heads to trial June 18 to face charges of sexual assault, sexual interference and possession of child pornography.

Paton has already pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. Sentencing is set for April 22.

The Criminal Code of Canada defines child pornography as any written or visual material depicting children under the age of 18 in a sexual manner.

The code defines sexual interference as the unwanted sexual touching of a child under the age of 14.

The two sets of charges were laid against the Iqaluit resident a year ago.
