NEWMARKET, Ont. – A 24-year-old Richmond Hill man faces numerous charges in an internet luring investigation that began in May.

A man is alleged to have contacted a 17-year-old girl using free online classifieds.

Police say the man engaged the girl in sexually exploitive conversation and requested to meet her for pornographic photographs and videos.

On Wednesday, investigators seized two laptops, a computer hard-drive, two cellphones, a thumb drive, a camera and a quantity of DVDs and CDs from a Richmond Hill home.

York Region police investigators say they believe there may be more alleged victims.

Nicholas Joseph DeMasi faces charges that include luring an underage person, attempted procuring and attempting to make child pornography.
