The accused allegedly met the victim online in early April, police said in a news release Monday morning. He is also charged with making sexually explicit material available to someone under 18 years of age.

"The accused is alleged to have sent the victim explicit messages, pictures, and videos via social networking and dating applications," police said.

North Bay Police Service received a complaint from the victim on May 18 and arrested the accused just over a month later.

Police said the name of the accused will not be released.
