Victoria teacher charged with sexual exploitation of students
- In February 2024, Marnie Burnham, a 36-year-old educator who worked at schools within the Greater Victoria School District, was formally charged with multiple sexual offenses involving students on Vancouver Island.
- The charges followed police investigations that began after receiving information early in 2024 about alleged sexual interactions between Burnham and students, identifying several victims.
- Marnie Burnham has been charged with five offences, including three related to sexual exploitation and two involving communication to entice a minor under 18, and has been released with restrictions that prevent her from contacting the alleged victims or entering school grounds.

- Police and school officials continue to seek additional victims and encourage anyone under 18 with sexual contact before December 2024 to contact investigators while support services remain available.
