| Hugh "Sandy" Thorburn |
Police said he met the girls, who were under the impression he was a modelling photographer.
Hugh "Sandy" Thorburn, 49, was arrested Friday in the parking lot of the Monte Carlo Inn in Barrie while in the company of a 17-year-old girl, said Det.-Sgt. Terry Paddon, head of the OPP's child sexual exploitation unit. Thorburn has been charged with one count of making child pornography, one count of possessing child pornography, two counts of juvenile prostitution and two counts of Internet luring.

Thorburn was a contract lecturer at Lakehead University's Orillia campus from 2008 until 2012, teaching music courses, spokeswoman Kathy Hunt confirmed. She noted he is no longer employed there.
"We have no evidence to suggest there was any connection (with) what he was doing at Lakehead," Paddon said. "None of the victims that I'm aware of are even old enough to have any association to Lakehead University."
Thorburn, who has also taught at the University of Toronto and University of Waterloo, was the director and narrator of Theatre Collingwood's Billy Bishop Goes to War, currently onstage at the Gayety Theatre. (more...)
