30 year old Winnipeg man arrested for luring a minor over the internet

On June 21, 2010, a member of the Winnipeg Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) was on the internet working in an undercover capacity posing as a fictitious 13 year old female.

While in a chat room, a male suspect engaged in a conversation with the undercover officer. It was during this conversation the suspect made sexually explicate comments and sent inappropriate images to the undercover officer, believed to be a 13 year old female.

A police investigation was initiated and the suspect male was eventually identified.

On July 20, 2010 a search warrant was executed at a resident in the North End area of Winnipeg at which time a 30 year old male was arrested.

He is facing a charge of Internet Luring (Under the age of 14). He was released on a Promise to Appear.
