The suit alleges a Port Hardy Secondary School teacher sexually abused the child starting in 1981 or 1984.

A B.C. man is alleging a Port Hardy high school teacher sexually assaulted him in the 1980s, according to a new lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court this week.

Sanderman alleges Port Hardy Secondary School teacher Gordon Bell sexually abused him starting in 1981 or 1984. The suit asserts the district failed to protect the child, failed to investigate Bell’s background, failed to have an abuse-reporting system, fostered a system where reporting would be considered wrong and failed to appropriately assist the plaintiff once it became aware of the situation, among multiple other claims.
