A 29-year old Port Alberni man is back in the community after serving less than a year in jail on child pornography charges.
Jason Zoet was caught breaking into a home in 2014, and when police arrived, they found him to be in possession of a cel phone, which was filled with child pornography images and videos.
Further searches of electronic devices in 2015 and 2016 uncovered hundreds of further illegal pictures and videos, and he was charged for the 6th time with possessing child pornography.
After spending 51 weeks in jail, Zoet plead guilty and was released on time served, and will be on probation for the next 3 years.
