An Invermere teacher is facing sexual exploitation charges that police say are connected to alleged inappropriate communication with a student.

Jason Walker has been charged with one count of sexual exploitation, one count of making sexually explicit material available to a child and one count of luring a child, police announced Tuesday (Feb. 13).

Walker is a teacher at David Thompson Secondary School, according to police.

Cpl. James Grandy said in a statement that the alleged offences took place over social media and investigation into the matter began in January.
