A Midland man has been charged with two counts of luring after an investigation uncovered inappropriate messages were sent to a 14 year old girl.
Barrie Police say the investigation started after the force received a complaint from the teen's parent, who discovered inappropriate messages were sent to their daughter through a social networking app.
Investigators linked the suspect’s on-line profile to a Midland resident.
On Wednesday, investigators with the Internet Child Exploitation Unit, Midland Police and the OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Section arrested a 32-year-old Midland man.
