HUDSON’S HOPE, B.C. — A Hudson’s Hope teacher has been charged with sexual offences.
Brent Heiberg, who was previously employed at Hudson’s Hope Elementary–Secondary School, has been charged with sexual exploitation and sexual assault.
Dr Stephen Petrucci, superintendent of schools for School District 60 Peace River North, told Energeticcity.ca: “The school district was informed of charges against a teacher at Hudson’s Hope school in relation to conduct towards a young person.
“I can confirm that the individual is not teaching at the school or for the district at this time while the court proceedings are ongoing and the matter is investigated.
“This matter is taken extremely seriously by the school district, as nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of our students.”
In a press release, the Hudson’s Hope RCMP said the police received a report of alleged sexual exploitation in October last year.
BC Prosecution Services has approved the charges. A publication ban is in place for any information which could identify victims.

“However, to the extent we are legally able to do so, we will keep parents and caregivers informed of any developments impacting our schools or students.”
