A 33-year-old man faces child pornography charges for a second time after police raided an east-end home Thursday.

They’d been tipped off through Skype and Facebook reports about an IP address that was the source of chat and images about the sexual abuse of children.

When police got the tip that came to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, they discovered they’d charged the same man in a provincewide sweep in March 2010.

A search warrant was executed Thursday at a home in Orléans Village-Châteauneuf area, yielding several digital devices, police said.

Jean-Michel Duval is charged with distributing, possessing and making available child pornography.

Duval – going as J.M. because “that’s what my family and friends know me as” – spoke to the Ottawa Citizen in July. He’d been in a Hintonburg coffee shop when police were called to respond to complaints about Abdirahman Abdi, who later died in an interaction with officers.

Duval said he was having a coffee and a croissant before heading to the church across the street for choir practice. The profile of his Twitter account, which he uses to interact with local media figures and politicians, describes him as a life-long Ottawan, news and sports junkie and choir singer of more than 25 years.

On Thursday morning, he tweeted, with a picture of an owl, “I don’t give a hoot if it’s cold this morning in #Ottawa. Have a great day everybody!”

He was to appear in court Friday.
