Police say officers from the Raptor Squad arrest a man in Sydney after an investigation into alleged online child grooming. The man is accused of trying to groom a girl online by sending sexual messages and photos. According to reporting, the person he believed he was communicating with was not a child, but police officers running the operation. The man is charged over the alleged conduct as part of the investigation. The reports do not indicate the man’s age or whether other charges were laid. The matter is presented as an example of targeted online grooming efforts being disrupted through a police sting operation in which suspects are contacted over digital platforms and led to believe they are communicating with a child. Police say the operation results in an arrest and formal charges for the alleged behaviour. The case is ongoing and will proceed through the criminal justice process.
