Police said the investigation involved activity on the gaming platform Roblox, and the social-media app Snapchat, where Lawrenson went by the username Coreyindahood.
Lawrenson was arrested Oct. 23, charged with having ‘telecommunication’ with a person under 16 for a specific offence, and making available explicit material to a person under 16.
Concerned there may be more victims, investigators from the Internet Child Exploitation Unit are asking anyone with information to come forward.
If you have information, please contact the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5660, or by email at ice@ottawapolice.ca.
