    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A teacher at Western Canada High School initiated a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old he’d taught months earlier, a Calgary judge was told Wednesday.

    A previous court ruling connected to the case shows Selby’s lawyer plans to “demonstrate that the relationship between the parties was not exploitative and that there existed no power imbalance in favour of the accused.”

    The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) would only say Selby is “unassigned from teaching duties and not actively at work at this time.”

    Amy says she and Selby continued a sexual relationship on-and-off over the next two years until she began to feel uncomfortable about their dynamic.

    That June, Amy was writing final exams ahead of graduation, and testified Selby asked her to come visit him in his classroom, which he also called his office.

    Almost immediately, Amy says Selby began lecturing her, saying things like “You cannot tell anyone about this, people could get the wrong idea … I could get in a lot of trouble.”
