The men were arrested last week by members of the ACT Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team  following raids on their homes.

The Wanniassa man has been charged with using a carriage service to access child-abuse material and possess or control child abuse material obtained or accessed using a carriage service.

Police will allege images of child exploitation were located on his computer.

The man received watch house bail to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court in June.
