The relationships involved the man contacting the victims online and exchanging intimate images with the youth.
As a result, Bailey Raymond Deveau has been charged with:
- Luring a Child (six counts);
- Making Sexually Explicit Material Available to Child (six counts).
Deveau was arrested and held in custody. He is scheduled to appear in Yarmouth Provincial Court on April 9 at 9:30 a.m.
