![]() Sean Patrick Mills | In a blow to child molesters and the underage sex trade, undercover cops posing as children do not need to obtain a judicial warrant before using email or instant-message services to communicate with someone suspected of child luring, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled. The high court decision came in the case of Sean Patrick Mills, a Newfoundland man convicted of internet luring after a police officer posed online as a 14-year-old girl named "Leann". Police used a screen-shot program to capture and record copies of the communications used to nail Mills, but they did not have a court-approved warrant. | ![]() |
