South Shore Man Gets Nearly 5 Years For Luring Under-age Girls


A Bridgewater-area man has been sentenced to just under five years in prison for a variety of charges including sexual offences committed against teenaged girls. Bradley Ronald Whynot had pleaded guilty to six charges that included using texting and Facebook to lure two 15-year-old girls and a 14-year-old girl for sexual acts in exchange for drugs and money. The incidents happened in 2011 in his home in Lower Northfield. Bridgewater provincial court Judge Gregory Lenehan conceded that Whynot has a supportive family, but said they need to realize he is a criminal and a sexual predator. Lenehan also banned Whynot from owning firearms for 10 years after his release and he must report his whereabouts to authorities for the rest of his life.
