However, in a latest development a man in Sydney has been arrested for luring teenage boys in to sex and doing so by means of Facebook. The incident as sent shock waves among the parents whose kids and teenage offspring are addicted to Facebook. The cops were contacted by a number of boys that they got approached by a man through Facebook who offered them sexual guidance. They are mostly high school students and below 15 years of age.

The cops got alarmed and they traced the man who was sending such tempting offers to the boys. They found the man in Sydney’s west at Blacktown. At the home they came across a lot of child pornography material. They subsequently arrested a 19 year old person and slapped charges of child pornography possession on him.
