Veteran Victoria Radio Host Al Ferraby Arrested on Child-Luring Charges

Al Ferraby, a 59-year-old radio host, faces charges for alleged telecommunication attempts to lure minors under 16 and 18, with investigations initiated by Vancouver Police in 2024.

  • In February 2025, veteran Victoria radio personality Al Ferraby was arrested and subsequently faced legal action for two separate allegations of child luring linked to incidents in both Victoria and Vancouver.
  • The Vancouver Police Department’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit started probing Ferraby in September 2024, culminating in his arrest and charges being brought by the BC Prosecution Service on September 17th.
  • Ferraby, a longtime CFAX 1070 morning show host since 1994 known for his community involvement, has been charged but the claims against him remain unproven in court, and he was released from custody following his arrest.
  • Bell Media, owner of CFAX and CTV, acknowledged Ferraby's suspension while the investigation is ongoing, but declined to provide additional details. Meanwhile, police chose not to disclose further evidence to safeguard the integrity of the criminal case.
  • The case remains active, with legal processes ongoing and Ferraby suspended from his duties as authorities and the media maintain discretion in sharing details during the investigation.
