A 29-year-old Ontario man has been charged with luring offences after an internet child exploitation investigation that began in May.
York Regional Police allege someone on the website Craigslist who went by the usernames kinky--man and Askmeifyouwantto made luring attempts online.
Police are asking anyone under 16 who has had contact with those usernames to contact them.
The man is facing five luring-related charges after a search of a home in Richmond Hill, Ont., on Thursday.
Const. Rebecca Boyd says police also seized some computer-related equipment after searching a Toronto business where the suspect works.
The man is charged with luring to facilitate sexual assault, luring to facilitate sexual interference, luring to facilitate invitation to sexual touching, luring to facilitate making child pornography and luring to facilitate possession of child pornography.
