A 35 year old Oregon man accused of luring a child from Surrey, BC, has been arrested in California.

RCMP allege the man used an alias to connect with a 14 year old on social media and allegedly groomed the victim to create and distribute sexual content.

Police say they worked with the family to gather evidence, determined the suspect was American and contacted the US Department of Homeland Security, which identified additional victims and made the arrest.

The man is now facing charges of sexual exploitation of children, distributing child pornography, cyberstalking, online enticement of a minor and transferring obscene material to a minor.
