Man charged with luring, sexual assault - Victim, 13, met accused on the Internet
A 36-year-old Scarborough man faces several charges after a 13-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted after meeting someone with whom she had struck up an Internet friendship.
Through an online chat room, the teenager from Peterborough County began a relationship with a suspect about two months ago.
