A former teacher from northern Alberta facing sex-related charges involving minors has been sentenced to two years in jail.
Brian Leroy Davison, 51, of Fort Assiniboine, AB, was sentenced in Hinton Court of Justice on Nov. 23, 2023, and also ordered to pay a surcharge of $200.
Davison was sentenced on one count of sexual interference with someone under 16, regarding an incident that took place at or near Edson, AB, sometime between Sept. 1, 2020, and Oct. 1, 2022.
He still faces six additional charges, however, stemming from three different incidents involving three different alleged victims.
Davison is charged with sexual exploitation, and sexual assault, involving a female youth between the dates of Sept. 1, 2000 and July 1, 2001, at or near Swan Hills, AB.
He is also charged with sexual interference, and sexual assault, involving a second female youth between the dates of Sept.1, 2016 and July 1, 2017, at or near Edson, AB.
Davison also faces counts of sexual exploitation, and sexual assault, involving a third female youth between the dates of Sept. 1, 2018 and July 1, 2019 at or near Edson, AB.
Davison’s matters on those counts return to Hinton Court of Queen’s Bench on Feb. 12, 2024, for arraignment.
That follows a preliminary hearing held in Edson Court of Justice earlier this month which resulted in an order to stand trial.
Those charges were laid in January of this year after RCMP previously charged Davison last December in relation to a fourth alleged victim between the dates of Sept. 1, 2020 and Oct. 1, 2022 at or near Edson, AB.
The series of investigations, however, began on Nov. 24, 2022, when Edson RCMP received a report of sexual interference involving a teacher. As a result of an investigation, on Dec. 7, 2022, Mounties arrested and charged Davison with three counts.
Davison was previously a teacher at Edson’s Ecole Pine Grove Middle School in the Grande Yellowhead Public School Division.
