A Hamilton man is facing charges after police say he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old girl.
According to the Guelph Police Service, the teen began communicating with the 38-year-old through Snapchat in February.
“He began pressuring her for an intimate relationship, despite knowing her age,” they said in a media release.
Shortly after they began messaging, police said the man picked up the teen and another young girl and brought them to Hamilton.
“While the three were in a grassy area the man touched the 13-year-old inappropriately,” the release continued.
The incident was later reported to Guelph Police.
The man was arrested on Thursday and charged with luring a person under 16 years of age, sexual assault, sexual interference and criminal harassment.
