A 46-year-old man in Sydney's northwest has been denied bail after police arrested him over allegations he groomed a child online. NSW Police's sex crimes squad received a report in October about the man's online activities. When officers went to arrest Kerim Tokcan at his workplace on Monday morning, he was allegedly found in his car engaging in a sexual act.

Police searched his home in Rouse Hill and seized a number of electronic devices. Tokcan was charged with using a carriage service to groom a child under the age of 16, possessing child abuse material, and soliciting child abuse material. He was also charged with wilful and obscene exposure in or near a public place.

Tokcan appeared at Penrith Local Court on Monday and did not apply for bail, so was formally refused. His case will return to the same court in January.
