His dismissal, pending further investigation, was an immediate response to his being placed under arrest and charged with four counts relating to the possession and distribution of child pornography. He entered pleas in British Columbia Provincial Court in Vancouver to accessing child pornography and possession of child porn on March 28, 2012.
