B.C. teacher charged with multiple sex offences against two students

CRESTON — A B.C. high school teacher has been charged with multiple sexual offences against two students, as well as harassment and extortion.

The man is also banned from going to any public park or school grounds.

Police say the offences allegedly took place between October 2022 and June 2023 while the man was teaching at the school in southeast B.C.

He’s charged with sexual exploitation, sexual assault, criminal harassment, extortion, telecommunications to lure a child, and possessing child pornography.

Staff Sgt. Brandon Buliziuk, commander of the Creston RCMP detachment, says because some communications occurred over the internet, it’s possible other people are aware of the offences but have not come forward.
