VERNON - A Vernon man will be sentenced in October after his arrest in a Canada-wide child pornography investigation.

Forty-six-year-old Rylan Sandberg pleaded guilty to possession of child porn in May.

He and another unidentified 49-year-old man also from Vernon, along with a 29-year-old Kelowna man, were among 150 Canadians arrested after an investigation began in February 2014.

Police seized over a million images, some of infants, along with video depicting sexual abuse of children.
