A bureaucrat working for the Ministry of Natural Resources in Thunder Bay has been convicted of child pornography charges and sentenced to jail.
David Laderoute was sentenced to the statutory minimum of 14-days in jail and 18-months probation.
He must also submit a DNA sample, and will be a registered sex offender for 10 years.
A Government spokesman says Laderoute's 18-year career with the public service has ended.
An investigation began in April, 2009 when it was discovered that a computer at the Thunder Bay MNR office was being used to access pornographic websites.
