Following up on last week’s post about a man coming from Europe to Canada in pursuit of a potential young lover, a recent news story depicts a Canadian looking over the border for love.

A 58-year-old Newfoundland man has been charged with communicating with a person whom he believed to be under the age of 16 for the purpose of facilitating an indecent act. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been informed by the U.S. authorities that one of their officers pretending to be a 14-year-old girl had been contacted multiple times online by man. The RCMP did not seem to release complete details of situation but a spokesperson did confirm the nature of the alleged messages was for sexual gratification and involved indecent exposure.

The case takes a bit of a twist as the man has also been charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. Police said it was a dog but would not confirm or deny whether the dog was involved in the alleged communication between the man and the “girl.”
