RCMP said Thursday that the retired teacher, now 82, was arrested following an investigation into seven incidents of indecent assault. Investigators also executed a search warrant at his North Vancouver residence at the time of his arrest. Sgt. Peter DeVries said many of the alleged assaults occurred while the teacher worked at Upper Lynn Valley Elementary between 1970 and 1982. Additional assaults allegedly occurred after he stopped teaching in 1982. Mounties say the initial complaint was made in mid-June and since then, seven alleged victims have come forward. DeVries said police are looking to speak with anyone who was victimized by the teacher or had an interaction that made them feel uncomfortable or that they felt was inappropriate. “We know there are more victims out there, and one of the things we’re doing today is asking those people to come forward,” he said. DeVries said the RCMP cannot release the name of the teacher who was retested as no charges have been laid. RCMP say they are aware of social media conversations between “individuals who may have been affected” and are asking them to speak to police. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the RCMP. Police say support is available for victims.
