A Gold River man charged with making child pornography and sexual assault did not appear in Bridgewater Provincial Court yesterday to enter pleas, having his legal aid lawyer adjourning the case. 58 year old John Eldon Myra also faces an additional charge of possessing child pornography. It's alleged he sexually assaulted a local 12 year old girl and photographed the assault.
Myra was arrested March 3rd following a police investigation which began last December. Lawyer Barry Whynot says he still has to obtain and review a significant amount of disclosure and asked that the case be set over to April 15th. Meantime, Myra is free on conditions including that he have no contact with children under 14, and stay away from computers.
