The offences are alleged to have happened during extra-curricular trips in the 1970s and 1980s
The trial of a former North Vancouver elementary school teacher charged with sexual offences against a dozen 11- and 12-year-old boys in the 1970s and 1980s opened in a North Vancouver court this week.
His charm and energy meant many of his students were happy to spend time with him on trips outside of school, said Sabourin, and their parents trusted him. Moore would frequently create a situation where he was in a bed beside a boy and would speak to the boy about sexual matters, insisting that these were normal things for him to teach them about, said Sabourin.
Moore’s popularity and the special privileges he gave the boys meant students would be unlikely to report him, said Sabourin. On a skiing trip to Apex resort in the Interior, Moore brought beer and Playboy magazines to the boys in their shared hotel room, the man said.“It was kind of an out-of-body experience,” he said. “I pushed him away.”
Water-skiing trips also involved the students getting into a wetsuit naked while Moore assisted, he said.
