A Central Coast man will reappear in court today charged following an investigation into alleged online grooming.
Detectives from the Child Abuse and Sex Crime Squad’s Child Exploitation Internet Unit (CEIU) began engaging online with a man from Woy Woy in December last year.
Police say the man believed he was speaking with a 14-year-old girl and engaged in sexually explicit conversations about acts he wished to perform on the child.
He then allegedly arranged to meet the girl for the purpose of a sexual encounter.
Following extensive investigations, Strike Force Trawler detectives arrested a 38-year-old man in Woy Woy about 9.30am on January 14.
