A former RCMP officer working in Langley, B.C., has received a one-day jail sentence and probation after pleading guilty to trying to lure underage girls on the Internet.
Adam Jonathan Clarke, 24, was scheduled to go on trial in June but elected to plead guilty.
Besides the one-day jail term, Clarke was put on probation for three years and will be placed the national sex-offender registry.
Clarke, who now lives in his native Newfoundland, used a computer at the suburban Vancouver RCMP detachment in 2005 to communicate with the two girls — one aged 12, the other 15 — on a social networking web site.
He tried to convince the girls to send him nude images of themselves.
He was arrested and suspended from the Mounties last year, then charged with two counts of attempting to lure a child under age 18.
The maximum sentence for the offence is five years.
I briefly knew Adam in the past. I don’t remember ever hearing the guy even swear. I just cannot believe this was who he is. Some guys who do this you can kind of see it coming, with Adam he was a real choir boy.
