Fifty-five-year-old man arrested
A 55-year-old man is in police custody in relation to a post widely shared on social media.
The Isle of Man Constabulary says the man was arrested for alleged offences committed under Manx law.
In a statement, the police say they have to work within the current laws of the Isle of Man, and that new sexual offences bill being progressed through Tynwald will bring the Island's legislation closer in line with other jurisdictions.
Sergeant Andy Reid says trial by social media can undermine an investigation and any future court proceedings:
Chief minister confirms plans for consultation on social media ban
Further committee to judge whether ministerial system change is needed
Manx politicians recall dealings with MP tipped to be next prime minister
Review of drug sentencing needed as a 'matter of urgency'
