    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.
     
    Investigators with Alberta's child exploitation unit say the suspect has been involved with a number of junior hockey teams and they are working with other police agencies to investigate similar alleged offences in B.C., Northwest Territories and Australia.
