CALGARY, Alta. — A Calgary criminal defence lawyer is facing numerous child sexual exploitation offences, including child luring, following an ALERT investigation.
Jordan Bonner, 46 years old, was arrested on April 30, by ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit along with the Calgary Police Service. Bonner’s Calgary home and law office were searched.
ALERT alleges that Bonner was engaged in sexually explicit online conversations with multiple youth and that he also shared child sexual exploitation materials.
Bonner used Snapchat to communicate with his alleged victims, who would have been between 11 and 15 years old. He used the online aliases “jrcbonner”, “whydoyoucare197”, and “daddysboi10.”
ICE is looking to identify potential victims and is encouraging anyone with information about this case to come forward and contact police. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local police or Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-TIPS).
The investigation remains ongoing as ICE is completing a forensic analysis on computers and electronic devices that were seized.
The alleged offences took place in December 2025, according to an investigative referral shared with ALERT by the RCMP’s National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Bonner has been charged with:
-Child luring;
-Making child sexual abuse materials available to a child;
-Making child sexual abuse materials;
-Distributing child sexual abuse materials;
-Possessing child sexual abuse materials;
-Accessing child sexual abuse materials;
-Unauthorized possession of a firearm;
-Possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized; and
-Careless storage of a firearm.
Bonner was released from custody to await a scheduled court appearance on May 7.
