Police say a 3rd party confronted the accused, before giving evidence to police

A 49-year old St. Catharines man has been arrested on child luring charges after he was confronted at his home.

Police determined a 3rd party group using online tactics identified who they believed was a child predator.

They confronted him at his home, before handing evidence over to police.

Late Saturday afternoon police were called to a St. Catharines home for an indecent act call, and yesterday they charged Darren R. Fox with:

Luring a Child via Telecommunication to Facilitate Sexual Interference
Luring a Child via Telecommunication to Facilitate Invitation to Sexual Touching
Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to a Child
Making Child Pornography (written and audio recording)

He has a bail hearing today.

Police also believe there are other victims, and say the accused used the online name Brett Donovan.
