A 25-year-old London man is facing charges following an investigation by the London Police Service’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit.

Police say they were notified on Thursday about a man who allegedly communicated with a 15-year-old girl through the mobile application Snapchat for one week in October.

The girl told investigators she was told there was a “job opportunity” involving her providing photos and video which would then be shared with others for a fee.
