Man Charged After Father Finds Sexual Texts

It serves as a reminder for parents to remain vigilant when it comes to who their child is talking to online and through texts.

A St. Thomas man was arrested for several child sex offences last week after a father notified police about some "concerning texts" he found on his young daughter's phone.

Following an investigation, St. Thomas police arrested a 47-year-old man last Wednesday.

He is charged with luring a person under 18 years of age by means of telecommunication, invitation to sexual touching, sexual assault on a person under the age of 16, possession of child pornography, and indecent exposure to a person under 16 years of age.
