Police in London, Ont., say they’ve arrested a 56-year-old man after he allegedly communicated with an undercover officer for the purpose of obtaining sexual services from a minor.
The arrest stems from an operation led by the police service’s Human Trafficking Unit.
Few details have been shared, but police say during the operation, which was conducted in a “south-end parking lot”, a man allegedly communicated “with an undercover officer to obtain sexual services.”
