Saskatoon teacher admits sending explicit emails to students
Former Saskatoon teacher Robert Farthing 51 says he sent dozens of explicit e-mails to at least three 13 year old girls from Buena Vista Elementary over three weeks in early 2000. He contemplated suicide after being confronted. The ethics committee will rule within a month on possible professional misconduct. Police found no charges due to insufficient evidence. Farthing was fired in April after the school board investigated.
