Four sex-related charges laid against teacher in Abbotsford, B.C.

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – Police in Abbotsford, B.C., say sex-related charges have been laid against a man who teaches at two high schools in the Fraser Valley city.

Const. Jody Thomas says 50-year-old Henry Kang is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual exploitation.

Thomas says in a news release that the two complainants were youths at the time of the alleged assaults and specific details will not be released.

She says an investigation began in January into Kang, who teaches at Robert Bateman and W.J. Mouat secondary schools.

The investigation followed an allegation of sexual assault against the Abbotsford resident and police say they want to speak to any other possible victims.

Kang returns to court in June.
