A New South Wales man has been charged as part of a police investigation into the use of cryptocurrency to buy child abuse material.

Mr Bell was refused bail and is expected to face court again in court in November.

Detectives executed a search warrant on Wednesday morning at a home in North Albury, where they seized electronic devices, drugs, and other items for forensic examination.

Jamie Bell, 29, was arrested and taken to Albury Police Station where he was charged with possessing prohibited drugs, producing and possessing child abuse material, and producing animal sexual abuse material.

He was also charged with possessing a child-like sex doll and breaching bail.

Mr Bell appeared in the NSW Bail Division Court via video link this morning and his lawyer, Malek Alzaim, applied for bail.

The court heard he received a disability pension, NDIS support, and needed a depot injection for his schizophrenia on September 30.

Mr Alzaim said Mr Bell lived independently in his own home but had a close relationship with his father, who visited him every day.

Police prosecutors told the court the accused was on bail after being charged with sexual intercourse with a person under 10 years old.
