A principal at an elementary school in Mission has been banned from teaching for 15 years after being caught in a “Creep Catchers” sting. The decision, published this month by the BC Commissioner for Teacher Regulation (BCCTR), comes after a series of events that began in September and October of 2016. The principal, identified as Jason Alan Obert, admitted that during this time period, he exchanged text messages with a “Sara,” person he believed to be a 15-year-old girl, after connecting with them on the Skout website. Using the pseudonym “James 33,” Obert’s texts included sexualized comments and requests and exchanges of pictures of “Sara.”
