The RNC issued a public advisory Monday, saying it had received a complaint of a man in a St. John's park approaching young teenage girls and attempting to befriend them before trying to solicit sexual activity from them. The man allegedly told the girls he was significantly younger than his actual age, police said.
On Tuesday, police issued a media release saying they had arrested a man in connection with that investigation.
