SURREY (NEWS1130) - A 20-year-old Surrey man accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl from Chilliwack has been arrested and released on conditions.
Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth with Upper Fraser Valley RCMP says they met online and used Facebook to talk before their relationship got more serious.
The man is accused of swapping nude pictures with the girl and then having sex with her more than once.
Hollingsworth says the girl's parents tipped off police and there's a lesson to be learned here for other parents.
"Just make sure that you're watching your children, making sure you know what they're doing on these devices. If you don't want them to use it without your permission you can apply password protection on it," she says.
"Check to see if there's a setting that you can set limitations on what your device can have access to with regard to accessing inappropriate material on the web and protecting your child from online predators."
The man has been ordered to stay away from the girl.
