Guelph man arrested after porn shown to teen clerk
GUELPH – A Guelph man has been arrested after a teenaged employee of a south-end business was shown a pornographic image by an adult customer.
“On Aug. 1, a 15-year-old girl was working at the business when an adult male came in and started asking her about condoms and other products,” states an Aug. 19 press release from Guelph Police.
“The girl was uncomfortable with the male’s questions and her father, who works in the same business, intervened to deal with the customer.
“While the father’s back was turned, the customer turned his phone toward the girl and showed her a photo of an erect penis. He then followed her and attempted to speak to her.”
A 25-year-old Guelph man was charged with criminal harassment and making sexually explicit material available to a child. He is to appear in Guelph court on Sept. 23.
