A 44-year-old man has pleaded guilty in a Kitchener court to two counts of invitation to sexual touching involving girls under age 16.
Court heard two 13-year-old girls carried on sexually explicit phone-text conversations with Thomas Farr, who sent one girl a photo of his genitals.
Prosecutor Margaret Janzen says the conversations with the underage girls began in December when one girl accidentally sent Farr a text message meant for her girlfriend.
She got one digit of her girlfriend’s number wrong, and the message went to Farr’s cellphone.
The Waterloo father responded and began a texting relationship which lasted several months.
The girl initially told Farr she was 18, but eventually revealed she was 13 and Farr continued the conversations even after knowing that.
