He is due to appear in court May 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The court has also ordered him not to use social media or electronic devices to access the internet, although he is allowed to use laptops for work, provided he obtains approval from his bail supervisor and refrains from downloading software that would enable anonymous internet use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Bonner was also charged with criminal harassment in November after he was accused of threatening a Calgary police officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">RCMP alleged the harassment began after an investigation of the accused by Calgary police. The Calgarian then used \u201cdefamatory, anti-law enforcement online content\u201d against a lead investigator of that investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">RCMP allege the man continued to post online content, which devolved into threats and stalking behaviours against the officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u2014 With files from Kevin Martin<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/ca.news.yahoo.com\/mailto:hmansukhani@postmedia.com\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:hmansukhani@postmedia.com;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hmansukhani@postmedia.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Calgary defence lawyer is facing several charges related to child sexual exploitation.
