An American man has been charged after an alleged attempt of child luring in Didsbury this week.
On Aug. 1, 2023, at approximately 4 a.m., Didsbury RCMP officers observed a suspicious vehicle in downtown Didsbury. A traffic stop was initiated after the vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign.
While in contact with the male driver, officers observed a female youth sitting on a bench 10 metres across the street from the location of the traffic stop. The male driver advised officers he was in Didsbury to meet a female whom he was speaking with online.
Officers spoke with the female youth who confirmed the male driver was coming to pick her up. Mounties say the female youth confirmed she was communicating with the male over an app. The female youth advised she was not aware she was communicating with an adult and confirmed they were meeting up for a sexual encounter.
