(AP) A man who works as a clown and volunteers with Scouts Canada has a court date today in Napanee, Ont., to face child pornography charges.

Police say two computers and camera equipment containing images of child sexual abuse were seized from two Napanee residences last Thursday.

Officers from provincial and Toronto police conducted the searches following an online undercover investigation.

Randy Edward Miller, 40, of Napanee, is charged with two counts of possessing child pornography and one count of making child pornography available.

Police say Miller is self-employed as a clown and volunteers as a Beaver leader with Scouts Canada.

The Scouts Canada website says Beavers includes boys and girls aged five to seven.
