A reporter from the Nine Network's A Current Affair program has been charged with sending child pornography material after police raided the network's Sydney offices.
Police will allege Ben McCormack spoke about children in a sexually explicit way in conversations with another man and discussed child pornography.
He said nothing as he left Redfern police station with his lawyer Sam Macedone on Thursday night.
Police say he was arrested after being stopped in a car at Moore Park about 7.30am on Thursday.
Shortly after, search warrants were executed at a unit in Alexandra and A Current Affair's office at Willoughby, where computers, a mobile phone and electronic storage devices were seized.
