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. 

Buliziuk says anyone with information or who may have been directly affected should contact Creston RCMP. 

The teacher’s next court appearance is Sept. 28.
