A 27 year old Thunder Bay man is pleading guilty to charges stemming from a police sting operation last month. Matthew Lovering was charged with child luring and failing to comply with a court order after undercover detectives responded to an on-line
ad on Kijiji. The ad asked for young boys between the ages of 6 and 13 to model for photographs. An original charge of Invitation to Sexual Touching was dropped by the Crown. He is back in court on May 6th. According to the prosecution, Lovering faces a mandatory minimum 1 year in jail for the offences.
