A man has been arrested for possessing and importing videos depicting the sexual abuse of children.
A 33-year-old Rotorua man will appear in court today.
Customs said they tracked the man, who had downloaded a video of child sexual exploitation from an overseas internet address.
They executed a search warrant on his home and found a hard drive with more material.
A forensic analysis is under way and Customs said more charges could result.
Simon Peterson, head of Customs' Child Exploitation Operations Team, said people who view child sexual abuse material need to recognise that this is not a victimless crime.
