B.C. police charge Alberta man, 19, in alleged Roblox child-luring case:

KELOWNA — A 19-year-old Alberta man has been arrested and charged with child luring and sexual exploitation in a case allegedly linked to online gaming.

Mounties in Kelowna, B.C., say Kenneth Livesey of Beaverlodge, Alta., was arrested on Oct. 29 and is also charged with making and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

Police say the investigation began after the parents of the alleged victim found sexualized messages on their child’s Snap messaging app, and that the victim had been “coerced” into sharing explicit photos and videos.

An investigation involved internet child exploitation units in both B.C. and Alberta.
