Alberta Man Charged After Allegedly Luring B.C. Girl Through Roblox, Kelowna RCMP Say
Police say the suspect met the girl on Roblox before the chats moved to Snapchat, where they became sexualized and explicit images were shared.
- On October 29, police arrested 19-year-old Kenneth Livesey of Beaverlodge, Alberta, on charges including child luring and possession of child sexual abuse material involving an underage British Columbia girl.
- Investigators allege Livesey met the victim on Roblox before their interaction moved to Snap, where she was allegedly "coerced" into sharing explicit photos and videos, prompting her parents to report the activity to the Kelowna RCMP.
- Matt Pepper, acting sergeant for the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams, explained that moving conversations to other platforms is a "common tactic by offenders" to subvert safety protocols and avoid detection.
- Following his arrest, authorities released Livesey from custody, and he is scheduled to appear in court on November 18, 2026, in Grande Prairie to face the pending charges.
- The Kelowna RCMP and Alberta partners collaborated to identify the suspect, with authorities emphasizing that effective policing transcends jurisdictional boundaries and urging anyone with information to contact local police or Cybertip.
