High emotions filled a Regina courtroom on the second day of a trial for a former Regina teacher accused of sexually exploiting a female student.
Jeffrey Dumba is facing five counts of sexual exploitation for an alleged virtual communication with a 15-year-old student who attended the school where he was employed. He was arrested in 2021.
Digital evidence found on a laptop, Apple watch, and two cell phones included explicit images which were exchanged between two distinct Snapchat user IDs, which are believed to belong to the alleged victim and accused.
On Tuesday, the alleged victim took the stand. The now 18-year-old reviewed a recording of a preliminary police interview from Sept. 2, 2021 in which she and her mother exchanged the following dialogue:
Mother: “You do understand how wrong this is, right?”
Victim: “Ya, but it’s my fault.”
Mother: “Can I ask why you think it’s your fault?”
