A 28-year-old Nobelton man is facing several charges after police say he allegedly lured a teenaged girl from Essa Township.

Provincial Police say they have been investigating an internet luring case involving the man and a 14-year-old since August 16, 2015.

Police say the man befriended the teen online and requested to meet in person. During their meeting, the girl was sexually assaulted, police say.

The man has been arrested and is charged with sexual interference, sexual assault and luring.

He has since been released and will be back in court next month.
