As a result of the investigation, police say they’ve arrested and charged a 53 year old Cobourg man on several offences.
According to police, the charges include administering a noxious thing, possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine, sexual assault, sexual interference, child luring, and making or accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.
Police say the accused was held for a show cause hearing.
The Cobourg Police Service is asking anyone with information related to the investigation to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
Police also note reports of online child sexual exploitation can be submitted through Cybertip.ca.
The charges have not been proven in court.
