A Halifax man has been charged with luring a child.
Police say it was September 1 when they responded to a complaint that a child received a message on social media from a man she knows.
He had invited her to meet to engage in a sexual act.
She shared the message with an adult and did not meet with him.
The 24-year-old was arrested Thursday in Dartmouth and is scheduled for court.
He is facing these charges:
- Luring a person under 16 years of age by means of telecommunication
- Breach of a probation order
