CALGARY- A former Calgary police officer has been handed an eight-month jail term after pleading guilty to accessing sexually explicit material involving children.

Two other child pornography related charges were withdrawn during his sentencing hearing.

Court heard that in January 2018, police started investigating a social media user who was uploading child pornography.
