A Moncton, N.B., man pleaded guilty Tuesday to possessing millions of images of child pornography, the largest collection ever found in Canada, according to the Crown prosecutor.
Douglas Hugh Stewart, 51, was arrested in March as part of a police investigation into online trading in images of child sex abuse.
Karen Lee Lamrock, a Crown prosecutor, said in court Tuesday that Stewart's mass of child pornography images was the largest ever found in Canada.
The Crown and defence jointly recommended Stewart get a psychiatric evaluation before sentencing. Provincial Court Judge Anne Dugas-Horsman agreed.
During the psychiatric evaluation, Stewart's risk to society, including his risk of reoffending, will be examined.
He will be back in court for sentencing Aug. 19.
Stewart was one of four people arrested in March during police searches across the province.
The arrests were part of Operation J Treasures, a continuing investigation into peer-to-peer computer file sharing of child sexual abuse images in New Brunswick.
The Atlantic Region Integrated Technical Crime Unit, Codiac Regional RCMP, Fredericton police, the National Child Exploitation Co-ordination Centre and RCMP districts throughout the province assisted in the investigation, which began in November 2010.
