Trial against Regina teacher for sexual exploitation of student begins

A Regina teacher is on trial accused of sexually exploiting a student.

Jeffrey G. Dumba faces five charges, including seduction, sexual exploitation and providing sexually explicit material to a person under the age of 16.

Dumba was arrested in 2021 after police were alerted to an “inappropriate relationship/communication” between the science teacher and a 14-year-old student.

The trial began on Monday with testimony from two police officers, including the security guard at the high school where Dumba taught.

The evidence presented so far on Monday morning consisted of images and messages of a sexual nature exchanged via Snapchat between the victim and the defendant.

The alleged victim is expected to testify this week.
