Teacher accused of child porn offences facing more charges


More charges have been laid against a Saskatoon high school teacher accused of child pornography offences.

Rhett Lundgren was arrested Thursday on possession of child pornography, sexual exploitation, luring and breach of undertaking charges by officers with the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit. He appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court Friday to face the possession and breach charges.

The possession charge was laid after police say child pornography was found on devices seized from him during an earlier arrest in December. The sexual exploitation and luring charges relate to a 2009 incident in Red Deer, Alta., involving a student at the school where Lundgren was a teacher at the time.

The 39-year-old Lundgren, who was a full-time work education teacher at Walter Murray Collegiate in Saskatoon, was charged in early December with two counts of arranging to commit a sexual offence against a child between eight and 10 years old and one count of attempting to access child pornography. He’s since been suspended without pay by Saskatoon Public Schools.  (more...)
