Alliston hospital’s ex-communications manager enters guilty plea for child luring
A former corporate communications manager for Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston has entered a guilty plea for child luring, according to media reports.
Alliston resident Jared Nolan made the plea today (July 13) at the Ontario Court of Justice in Bradford.
In November 2016, Nolan, then 34, was arrested and charged with a number of criminal offences following a six-week OPP investigation into Internet luring and child pornography.
Police started the investigation in September 2016 after receiving a complaint about a man communicating with a young female in a sexual manner over the Internet.
Nolan, who started working at the hospital in April 2015, allegedly used his position at the hospital to gain the victim’s contact information.
He was charged with three counts of Internet luring, one count of transmitting sexually explicit material to a person under 18 years old, one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
He was released on $150,000 bail in November 2016.
