A former P.E.I. substitute teacher, Matthew Craswell, has pleaded guilty to sexually touching two students at different elementary schools and has a history of child sex abuse charges, including possession and distribution of child pornography. His first guilty plea was related to an incident at Glen Stewart Primary School in 2024, while a subsequent plea involved a 2023 incident at West Kent Elementary. Both incidents were not reported to authorities initially, and the connection between them was only discovered during an RCMP investigation. Craswell engaged in online discussions about child pornography and shared images of children, raising concerns about the failures in the reporting protocols by the Public Schools Branch.
