by Shuyee Lee – CJAD NEWSTALK RADIO  - A 65-year-old Côte-des-Neiges man faces child porn charges and police are concerned Montreal children could be possible victims.

Montreal police Sergeant Detective Marco Breton tells CJAD News two five-year-old girls were approached by a man who showed them kiddie porn pictures including video camera images of him masturbating. It happened at the corner of Mountain Sights and Ferrier at about 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.

Breton says one of the girls’ mothers noticed what was going on and detained him with the help of the other mom and a neighbour until police arrived. He put up a fight, pushing one person and hitting another. He also allegedly tried to erase the pictures and get rid of the photos by throwing them under a parked car.

Robert Knight faces charges of possession and distribution of child porn and a charge of assault. He’s being held without bail and returns to court this fall.

The police are asking for the public’s help in finding any possible victims.

Knight  speaks English, is about six feet tall, 190 pounds, with a shaved head and blue eyes.

Breton says they have reason to believe there could be other victims and asks anyone with information about the suspect or any possible victim to call Info-Crime at 514-393-1133.
