CORNER BROOK

Oral Clarke has pleaded guilty to another charge of Internet luring.

The 65-year-old St. Jude’s man is currently serving a 20-month sentence for charges of unlawfully luring a child under 18 by means of a computer system and possessing child pornography.

He was convicted in June 2017 and shortly after the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of Newfoundland and Labrador Internet Child Exploitation Team issued a public appeal for more victims.
