Former Teacher Gets 12-Years in Prison in Sexual Assault Case
LETHBRIDGE – A former Raymond elementary school teacher was handed a 12-year prison sentence Thursday (June 30).
Last September, Jamey Brian Kristian pleaded guilty to charges of sexual assault, sexual interference, child pornography, and voyeurism.
Through an agreed statement of facts, it was revealed that Kristian met one of the boys, who was just 9 in 2005, through Big Brothers Big Sisters. He only volunteered with the organization for about six months, but continued the relationship afterwards. It was in 2007 that he started to engage in various sexual acts with the boy, and kept a journal detailing what he did. The sexual assaults continued until 2012.
He became a mentor to the second boy, also 9, and also started acting as a babysitter for the child. He sexually assaulted that victim during the summer of 2013.
