    Police say an Alberta man accused of posing as a teenage girl to lure teenage boys on social media has also lived in Kelowna.
     
    The 34-year-old was arrested last week after he allegedly lured and attempted to sexually assault a boy in Grande Prairie, Alta.
     
    Jonathan Karl Bruenig has been charged with offences that include child luring and making, possessing and distributing child pornography.
