Owen Sound police have laid charges against a 26-year-old following an investigation that began earlier this month.

Investigators say the counts come after complaints a male was having "concerning interactions" with a 14-year-old using a messaging app.

Francesco Santini of Chatsworth has been charged with luring a child under 16 years of age by telecommunication and making child pornography.

Santini was arrested Wednesday and being held pending a bail hearing on Thursday.
