Independent B.C. Legislator Jordan Kealy Charged with Sexual Assault
A special prosecutor was appointed after allegations involving offences between Jan. 1 and Sept. 20, 2024, officials said.
- The British Columbia Prosecution Service announced on Thursday that Independent Peace River North MLA Jordan Kealy faces a charge of sexual assault relating to alleged offenses in Fort St. John between January 1 and September 20, 2024.
- Kealy left the B.C. Conservative party on March 7, 2025, alongside Tara Armstrong after Dallas Brodie was removed from caucus; he described the party as "toxic" and remained as an Independent.
- Senior Vancouver lawyer Gail Barnes was appointed special prosecutor on February 9 to avoid potential improper influence, while the North District Prince George RCMP conducted the underlying investigation into the elected official.
- Kealy is scheduled for his first court appearance in Fort St. John on July 6, and he recently posted a Facebook photo with new B.C. Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay on May 30.
- Despite his independent status, Kealy wrote on Facebook following the leadership election that he might return to the party, though he has not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the charge.
