VANCOUVER -- An American cross-country ski coach accused of voyeurism and making child porn after allegedly placing a hidden camera at a British Columbia ski resort has been indicted in the U.S.
A federal grand jury in Seattle indicted Jason Paur (power) on five child porn-related offences on Wednesday.
He was indicted on two counts of production and transportation of child pornography, and one count each of production of child pornography with intent to transport, possession of child pornography, and transportation of minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
RCMP in B.C. arrested Paur in December 2013, after a video camera was found in the room of female students during a school-sponsored trip at the Silver Star ski resort in Vernon.
The American indictment alleges Paur, a former teacher at a private school in Seattle, previously recorded students during ski trips to Vernon, in 2011 and 2012.
Paur is scheduled to face trial in January, and Emily Langlie of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle says efforts to have him extradited will begin after the proceedings.
