59-year-old Welland man arrested on suspicion of child enticement

Niagara police have arrested a 59-year-old man for luring a child online.

Niagara Police, along with the Internet Child Exploitation Unit, have conducted an investigation into people using the Internet to meet children for sexual purposes.

For a month, 59-year-old Robert Darryl Davis of Welland texted someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl.

During these conversations, he agreed to meet the girl at a pre-arranged location for sexual purposes.

When he arrived, the police were already on the scene and he was arrested.

Detectives have reason to believe there are more victims.

They suspect he used aliases such as “Jim”, “Jimmy Wilson” or “Mike Wilson”.
