Guelph police say a 24-year-old man has been charged in a child-luring investigation after allegedly trying to meet up with a 12-year-old girl.
The investigation started on Dec. 8 after investigators were notified that a man was having “sexual conversations” with a child, police said in a news release.
Police added that an in-person meeting was also arranged.
“When the male arrived at the meeting spot Wednesday morning, he was instead met by members of the Guelph Police Service,” police said in a news release.

He was arrested again for breaching his conditions.
Guelph police have not released the suspect’s name. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 23.
