HALIFAX - Nova Scotia's justice minister says he has "grave concerns" about a federal Supreme Court decision to strike down mandatory minimum sentences for accessing or possessing child pornography.

In a 5-4 ruling last week, the Supreme Court found that a one-year minimum sentence was unconstitutional, saying it violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
