Alberta man, 19, accused of luring B.C. girl via Roblox and Snapchat

A 19-year-old man from Beaverlodge, Alberta, Kenneth Livesey, was arrested on October 29 in Kelowna, B.C., and charged with child luring and multiple counts of making and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material. The charges stem from an investigation involving internet child exploitation units in both B.C. and Alberta, initiated after the parents of a girl found sexualized messages on their child’s Snapchat account. Livesey allegedly met the victim on the online gaming platform Roblox and then began communicating on Snapchat, where he coerced the victim into sharing explicit photos and videos. The investigation highlights the tactics used by offenders to evade detection and bypass safety protocols on these platforms.
