Tavistock woman charged with sexual offences involving a child

Charges have been laid against a Tavistock woman accused of making arrangements to sexually assault a child.

Oxford OPP searched a home in the town north of Woodstock on Tuesday. Various electronics were seized for further examination, police said.

No other details about the online child sexual exploitation investigation have been released.

An unidentified 34-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the case. She has since been charged with three counts of making an agreement or an arrangement to commit sexual offences against a child under the age of 16. She was held for a bail hearing that was scheduled to take place on Wednesday.

Police are reminding parents to take a "proactive approach" to protect their children from strangers online by speaking with them about internet safety. Resources to assist with the conversation can be found at www.cybertip.ca.
