(Maryse Zeidler/CBC)A Christian school teacher in Campbell River, B.C., has been charged with the posession of child pornography.Police say a search of 39-year-old Jeffrey Falk’s home found a “substantial collection” of child pornography, including images and videos.Const. Maury Tyre with the Campbell River RCMP said police received a tip in May from the U.S.-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a Campbell River IP address that had uploaded an image that would qualify as child pornography.During the investigation, thousands of images were recovered, Tyre said.Falk taught at Campbell River Christian School (CRCS) until July 2025, but “left” the school’s employment on the same day school officials learned of the investigation, according to a CRCS news release.“This news is painful for our entire school community, and we recognize the concern and grief it brings to families, students and staff alike,” said the release.The school said staff and families were informed of the RCMP investigation and Falk’s conditions before the first day of school in August 2025.“In cooperation with the RCMP this was all that we were at liberty to disclose,” the school’s board chair and principal said in the release.“As a Christian School, we do understand that sin and brokenness exist in the world; yet we want to be unequivocally clear: we do not condone this behavior in any form. The protection and well-being of children is paramount.”The school said it is now providing additional resources and guidance on safe internet use for children and adults.Tyre said it’s extremely important for parents to speak to their children about internet safety and potential danger online.”It’s something people don’t realize quite how prevalent it is in the dark corners of the internet,” Tyre said.Falk will appear in court in November to answer to the allegations, according to police.With files from Maryse Zeidler and Lauren Vanderdeen
