A Calgary criminal defence lawyer has been charged with child luring and sexual exploitation offences, six months after he was charged with harassing a police officer.<\/p>\n
Jordan Bonner, 46, was arrested last week after Alberta\u00a0Law Enforcement Response Teams\u2019 (ALERT) internet child exploitation (ICE) unit, along with Calgary police, executed searches on his home and law office.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investigation remains ongoing as ICE is completing a forensic analysis on computers and electronic devices that were seized,\u201d reads a statement sent out by ALERT on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The charges include child luring, as well as making, distributing and accessing child sexual abuse materials.<\/p>\n
According to ALERT, Bonner is accused of engaging in sexually explicit conversations online with several children between the ages of 11 and 15 years old.<\/p>\n
Police also accused Bonner of sharing child sexual exploitation materials.<\/p>\n
Bonner faces three firearms-related charges, including unauthorized possession and careless storage of a firearm.<\/p>\n

The investigation got underway in December after a referral to ALERT by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.<\/p>\n
The offences are alleged to have taken place between Dec. 20, 2025, and April 30, 2026, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
As part of his bail conditions, Bonner is prohibited from accessing social media and has been ordered to stay away from areas where children frequent.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the Snapchat usernames alleged to have been used by Bonner include \u201cjrcbonner,\u201d \u201cwhydoyoucare197,\u201d\u00a0and \u201cdaddysboi10.\u201d<\/p>\n
ICE is asking anyone with information about the case to contact police. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
Court this week <\/p>\n
In November, Bonner was charged with criminal harassment for allegedly threatening a police officer who had previously led an investigation into him.<\/p>\n
That investigation was not related to the child luring allegations.<\/p>\n
Bonner\u2019s next court appearance is later this week.<\/p>\n
The lawyer who represented Bonner during his first appearance before a justice of the peace did not immediately respond to CBC’s request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Calgary criminal defence lawyer has been charged with child luring and sexual exploitation offences, six months after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[51,15339,15342,15338,4201,15340,15341],"class_list":{"0":"post-34625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-calgary","8":"tag-calgary","9":"tag-child-exploitation","10":"tag-child-luring","11":"tag-child-sexual-exploitation","12":"tag-police-officer","13":"tag-sexual-exploitation","14":"tag-the-investigation"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
