Cosburn teacher remains in custody on child porn charges

James Robert Coulter, 41, a teacher at Cosburn Middle
School in Toronto, faces child-pornography charges.

An elementary school teacher accused of child pornography offences made a brief court appearance Friday and was remanded in custody.

James Robert Coulter, 41, will be back before a judge on Tuesday.

Coulter works at East York’s Cosburn Middle School where he taught a Grade 7/8 split class. The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) said Friday the charges do not involve any students from the school.

TDSB spokeswoman Zoya McGroarty told CityNews that Coulter has been suspended with pay until further notice, and a meeting will be held for parents on Monday night.

In a letter sent home to parents on Thursday, the school’s principal Troy Langevine said, “We do not take these allegations lightly…Coulter will remain away from school pending the outcome of this matter.”  (more...)
