An Ottawa man will appear in court on Friday after police charged him with child luring.

Police from the high-tech crime section picked up 27-year-old Jorge Carepa on Thursday as part of an ongoing child luring investigation.

Search warrants were obtained for two Ottawa addresses, which led to the seizure of several computers and computer-related media.

Carepa has been charged with luring a child via computer and invitation to sexual touching.

Anyone with information is asked to call Ottawa police at 613-236-1222 ext. 5640 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-TIPS.
