Grand Bend Man Faces Internet Luring Charges

A 33-year-old Grand Bend man has been charged with internet luring following a two week investigation by Lambton OPP and the OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit.

Police allege a man on an internet chat site in June chatted sexually with a Sault St. Marie undercover officer posing as a child.

Detective Sgt. Paul Thompson says officers executed a search warrant at a Grand Bend residence Friday and seized four computers for forensic analysis.

He says the case highlights the importance of kids being careful on the internet.

Police urge anyone that's had any dealings with a person using the online name JSLICE893 to call them at 705-330-3240.
