David Prest of Casselman will spend the rest of the year at the St. Lawrence Val- ley Correctional and Treatment Centre: Secure Treatment Unit in Brockville for his conviction on a charge of possession of child pornography. Prest pled guilty to the charge during the February 14 provincial court session in L’Ori- gnal. The charge resulted from a combined investigation of la Sûreté du Québec and the Russell County OPP fromMay to June 2017. The investigation began May 2017 after Prest dropped off a thumbdrive at the self- serve photo developing kiosk at the Jean Coutu Pharmacy in Casselman. The drive went to a photo lab in Montréal for pro- cessing. The technician who opened the digital storage device for treatment found more than 30 images of naked girls under the age 13 along with an assortment of cartoon characters like Lisa Simpson and Dora the Explorer that had been digitally altered to look like naked 13-year-old versions of the originals. The photo lab contacted police and la Sûreté took charge of the investigation.The OPP were contacted after photo lab records showed the thumbdrive came from the Cas- selman pharmacy. Police arrested Prest in June and had him show them the location of the computer where he had downloaded the images. Since his arrest, according to a Crown counsel re- port, Prest has not had access to a computer. Prest has one prior conviction fromOcto- ber 2011 for possession of child pornogra- phy, for which he received a conditional sentence of two years less one day and was placed on probation for that term. During the February 14 sentencing hea- TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Village of Casselman will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, the 13th day of March 2018, at 6:30pm in the Community Hall at the JR Brisson Complex, 758 Brebeuf Street, Casselman, to consider a proposed amendment of the Village of Casselman Zoning By- Law No. 1996-635 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.

ring Crown counsel presented a copy of a psychological evaluation from the Royal Ottawa Hospital that stated Prest would be at “above average” risk to reoffend if he did not receive treatment.
