Lethbridge Police shared in a press release Thursday, that they have charged 22-year-old Sean Cedric Bilo of Lethbridge, with luring a child under 14 and invitation to sexual touching. 

The investigation began in mid-December 2025, after police responded to a report that a 13-year-old girl was contacted on Snapchat by then 21-year-old Bilo, who wanted to meet and have sex. 

The girl, who was with friends, met Bilo at a city park, and police were subsequently contacted. 

LPS said Bilo left prior to police arrival but descriptions of him and his vehicle were provided. Officers located him and he was arrested without incident.

 Further investigation confirmed Bilo had been communicating with the 13-year-old girl online, was aware of her age and offered to buy her alcohol and then take her to his residence.

Bilo remains in custody and is next scheduled to appear in court March 20.
