Guelph police report that an Oakville man has been arrested after a 12-year-old Guelph girl reported they repeatedly met for sex.
Approximately 4:20 a.m. Monday police were called to a north end motel after a man reported he discovered his daughter missing from her bedroom and tracked her phone to the motel. A 29-year-old Oakville man was arrested after officers located him in a room with the child.
Investigation revealed they had met four previous times after they began chatting online in early June.
The Oakville man is charged with five counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching and a single count of luring a person under 14. He remains in custody and was scheduled to appear in court Friday.
