Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: In October 2022, the Chatham-Kent Police Internet Child Exploitation unit received a complaint of a male attempting to solicit explicit images from a teenage female through fake social media accounts.
It was believed that the suspect resided in Chatham-Kent due to his knowledge of the area.
Through various investigative techniques, the man was identified and arrested.
On January 26, 2023, the 40-year-old Chatham man was arrested and charged with luring a child to make child
pornography and luring a child to commit sexual interference.
He was transported to police headquarters and later released on multiple conditions and a future court date.
No further information will be released to protect the victim’s identity as the investigation is ongoing.
