A 30-year-old man who randomly messaged a 15-year-old girl through social media is facing three charges related to the sexual abuse of a teenager.
Police believe the man built up a relationship with the young female claiming he was in his early 20s. After several online communications, the two met up at his home where it’s alleged he sexually assaulted the girl.
Following that encounter, the 15-year-old received several direct messages through an app, attempting to lure her into the sex trade which police maintain came from the male.
