PUSLINCH – A Listowel man has been charged with sexual luring of a minor here.

Wellington County OPP announced on Aug. 18 the charge relates to an investigation started earlier in the month.

An 18-year-old resident of Listowel was charged with luring a person under 16 years of age by telecommunication and was held in custody.

“The name of the accused has been withheld as this case remains subject of a court ordered publication ban,” police stated.

OPP spokesperson Josh Cunningham told the Advertiser he is not certain who requested the publication ban.
