Saskatoon police said Monday an elderly man was arrested after a 10-year-old boy was approached for sexual purposes last month.
The boy reported being offered money to attend an older man’s apartment while walking in the area of Avenue P South at roughly 8:30 a.m. CT on May 30.
Once in the apartment, police said the man attempted to obtain sexual favours from the boy.
The boy fled the apartment without any physical injuries.
The 69-year-old man is facing a charge of invitation to sexual touching, and attempt to obtain sexual services of a person under 18 years old. His name was not released by police.
He is expected to answer to the charges in Saskatoon provincial court at an undisclosed date.
