A Dartmouth man has been charged with luring a child over the internet, Halifax police say.

Early Thursday, police executed a search warrant after receiving information from the National Child Exploitation Co-ordination Centre that a Dartmouth man had been sharing sexually explicit images online with a 12-year-old Wisconsin girl.

Members of the Halifax Regional Police-RCMP internet child exploitation unit seized electronic devices for forensic analysis and, with the assistance of patrol and vice officers, arrested a 22-year-old man.

Brandon Klayme was expected to appear in Dartmouth provincial court Thursday on charges of luring a person under the age of 14 by means of telecommunication, providing sexually explicit material to a child and possession of child pornography.

Anyone with information about online sexual exploitation of children is urged to report the activity to police by phone or at www.cybertip.ca.
