The RCMP in Barrington, N.S., have charged a Halifax man for allegedly committing sexual offences against two youths.
In a release, police say they received a report that two youths in the Barrington area had been lured “for a sexual purpose by a man.”
“Police began an investigation and determined that both youths had been lured for sex over a social media platform by the man,” it said. “The man made arrangements with the youths to pick them up and then took them to a property where he sexually assaulted them.”
The release said officers determined the suspect was a 28-year-old from Halifax and contacted him with the assistance of Halifax Regional Police. The man turned himself in on Nov. 17.
