Child exploitation investigation leads to Paradise man's arrest

A man in Paradise has been arrested following a months-long child exploitation investigation.

Officers with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement UnitNL (CFSEU-NL) arrested and charged the 28-year-old man on multiple counts.

He was released from police custody under strict conditions.

He's facing a total of six charges, including three counts of child luring, two counts of attempt to arrage to commit a sexual offence against a child, and attempted exposure.

The man is scheduled to answer to those charges in a court appearance in St. John's Aug. 25.
