Suspect arrested in child luring investigation

The Windsor Police Service has arrested a 38-year-old man following an investigation into the online luring of children.

In October 2025, members of the Windsor Police Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit launched an investigation after an adult initiated contact on a social media platform with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old female. Over several days, the suspect engaged in inappropriate conversations and arranged to meet the youth in person.

During the investigation, officers also learned that the same suspect had been communicating with another individual he believed to be 12 years old.

On November 14, 2025, investigators located and arrested Randall Arthur Moody in the 3600 block of Dougall Ave.

Moody has been charged with two counts of telecommunications with a person under 16 years for specific criminal offences.
