RCMP say Port Coquitlam teacher may have more victims
PORT COQUITLAM/CKNW(AM980)

1/24/2013

RCMP are looking for possible additional victims of a retired Port Coquitlam teacher.
 
In December, 60 year old Russell Lance Read pleaded guilty in relation to two incidents of sexually exploiting two youth a decade ago.
 
Recently though, Coquitlam RCMP say three people who Read taught between 1996 to 2004 came forward with allegations -- and investigators think there may be more victims yet to speak up.
 
Police say Read taught computers at Citadel Middle School -- he was also a rugby, volleyball and choir coach.

    This so-called man is no longer a teacher, so why is CKNW still calling him a teacher?

      @AldinaI Fair comment ! He is an ex teacher , who committed crimes against young innocent children when he was a teacher.

      Certainly calling him a teacher raises alarms of crimes being committed now - and gives all teachers a bad rep

    Just an observation but there seems allot of problems with male teachers in our system. I wonder how many total incidents have occurred in the past 20 years? Is there a better check that can be administered? Polygraph etc.? There needs to be better protection of children who are the ones at risk and stiffer penalties for those who are successfully incarcerated.
