An 81-year-old eastern Ontario man is facing multiple charges following an eight-month online child pornography investigation.

Provincial police say officers executing a search warrant at a home in Hawkesbury seized four computer devices and other items pertinent to the investigation.

It's alleged that some of the items seized contained images of child sexual abuse.

Claude Joseph Belley is charged with two counts of possession of child pornography and one count each of accessing and making available child pornography, along with drug and weapons-related charges.

Police say the investigation is continuing.
