On October 25, the āVā Division Specialized Investigative Team opened an investigation into a 24-year-old male who was allegedly on-line luring two separate children in Baker Lake, for sexual relations.
On December 13, 2019 the Baker Lake RCMP arrested and charged the 24-year-old male with one count of Sexual Interference, one count of Invitation to Sexual Touching, one count of Sexual Assault, two counts of Luring a Child and one count of Breach of Probation.

While the internet can be an incredible social and educational tool, children and youthās online safety depends on parents/guardians taking a pro-active approach to help protect their children from online sexual exploitation.
