A TRAINEE teacher has been arrested for allegedly grooming a girl he thought
was 12 for sex online.
Western Australia's Online Child Exploitation Squad charged the 21-year old
from Yanchep, north of Perth, after he was nabbed following a covert
three-month operation.
Police will allege between June 12 and 17 the man used online social chat
facilities to sexually engage with a police officer posing as a 12 year-old
girl.
He is said to have groomed the girl by exposing her to indecent material,
and eventually instructed her about sexual matters.
He was studying at TAFE to become a teacher's assistant and a few days prior
to his arrest had started his practical assessment at a high school in the
northern Perth suburbs.
Police are investigating if the man has been communicating or committing
offences with any real children.
The man has been charged with using electronic communication with the intent
to expose a child to indecent material, and one count of using electronic
communication with the intent to procure a child to engage in sexual
activity.
He will appear in the Joondalup Magistrates Court on July 3.
