A school teacher has been charged with grooming after allegedly offering a 14-year-old girl money in exchange for sexually explicit material via social media.
Police arrested the 29-year-old educator in Sydney’s northern suburbs on Thursday morning.
Officers had received reports that a 14-year-old girl had been communicating with a man online who had allegedly encouraged her to send sexually explicit material in exchange for money.
The 29-year-old has been charged with using a carriage service to groom a person under the age of 16 for sex and to access child abuse material.
The man was refused bail and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on Thursday.
The arrest was part of an ongoing police operation called Strike Force Trawler, which aims to crack down on online child exploitation.
