Washington state man arrested for sexual contact with 12-year-old girl
VANCOUVER — Police have arrested a Washington state man who they allege was headed to B.C. to have sexual contact with someone he believed was a 12-year-old girl.
The U.S. justice department issued a news release saying that Christopher David Johnston was arrested Friday morning when authorities say he tried to illegally cross the border into Canada.
A criminal complaint filed earlier this month alleges the 39-year-old Ferndale, Wash. resident posted a personal ad on Craigslist saying he was looking for a “young lady to spoil.”
An undercover officer responded and said she wasn’t yet 13-years-old.
