An Alberta man has been accused of child luring and sexual exploitation after meeting a British Columbia girl online through Roblox and exchanging messages and explicit photos.
The 19-year-old man and the girl began chatting on Snapchat, where messages grew sexual and the girl was allegedly coerced into sharing explicit photos and videos. Moving communication from one platform to another is a common tactic by offenders to evade detection or avoid safety guardrails. The girl's parents found the messages and reported them, leading to a joint investigation by child exploitation teams in Alberta and British Columbia. Kenneth Livesey was arrested on Oct. 29 in Beaverlodge, Alta., and accused of child luring, making sexually explicit materials available to a child, making child sexual abuse and exploitation material, and possessing such material. He was released and is due back in Grande Prairie court on Nov. 18, 2026.
