A husband, father, tech executive and community organizer is facing child-pornography charges after an investigation by West Shore RCMP.
Kevin James Wolski is charged with two counts of making child pornography of a person under 18 years old engaged in explicit sexual activity, or for a sexual purpose, between May 2012 and April 15 of this year.
Wolski is also charged with one count of communicating with a child for the purpose of committing an offence between Oct. 30, 2012, and April 15.
Wolski is CEO of AdComply and director of sales and distribution at RingPartner Demographic, both digital marketing companies.
Todd Dunlop, president of RingPartner, said: “I can’t comment at this point. It’s a personal matter.”

According to his LinkedIn profile, Wolski is a director at the Braefoot Community Association. Wolski posted a photo on Twitter of himself accepting a $50,000 cheque for the community association after a charity event.
No one with the association could be reached for comment on Thursday.
On his Twitter feed, Wolski described himself as “a husband and dad for the most amazing family. Always excited about new projects and challenges. Advertising, Hockey and Architecture are a few of my favs.”
In March, Wolski tweeted that he enjoyed the Internet safety talk for parents of children at Crystal View Elementary presented by Darren Laur, a Victoria police officer and Internet security expert.
West Shore RCMP said they searched a home in Langford, but they would not confirm when the arrest took place or what evidence was seized.
Neighbours said police were outside the home, which is near Crystal View Elementary School, on Wednesday.
A woman answered the door of the home on Thursday but declined to speak to reporters.
“I’m kind of shocked,” said Debbie MacMillan, whose two grandchildren are in daycare and kindergarten at the school.
Barry Bennett, whose grandchild attends the school, said: “This is something I’m glad to hear [police are] getting on top of.”
Several parents said the neighbourhood is quiet and full of families.
Wolski was at Western Communities Court on Thursday. His father posted $5,000 bail and Wolski was released on 12 conditions, including avoiding contact with one woman, whose name cannot be released because of a publication ban on victims, complainants or witnesses.
He is also not to contact or be alone with a child under the age of 16, unless he is in the presence of an adult third party approved by the bail supervisor.
He is allowed to see his child with the permission of the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
He is not allowed at any public park, school ground, daycare centre, swimming pool, playground, skating rink community centre or any other place where children might be present.
Wolski is not allowed to access the Internet, unless it is for work purposes and in the presence of another adult.
He is not to possess any device capable of accessing the Internet or reside in a place that has Internet.
He is also not allowed to possess or access any pornographic material.
His next court date is May 14.
West Shore RCMP opened their investigation after a child-exploitation team in Manitoba shared information with its counterparts in B.C., said detachment spokesman Const. Alex Berube.
