A Red River College instructor has been charged with distributing pornographic images of children.
Winnipeg police said Douglas Alex Kuluk, 52, of Winnipeg, has been charged with possessing child pornography and distributing, selling or possessing child pornography.
He was detained in custody.
Winnipeg police spokesman Const. Rob Carver said officers began investigating in April after receiving a tip.
“Somebody became aware of the images and contacted us,” Carver said Friday.
Carver said investigators are looking into whether any of the images were of local children.
“We just know they are images,” he said.
Police said a search warrant was executed at a home in the Leila North neighbourhood on May 15, and a suspect was arrested.
Kuluk, a business administration instructor, was placed on leave Friday when the college was informed about the allegations, a spokesman said.
“We take this very seriously and will provide whatever is required to assist the Winnipeg Police Service with their investigation,” Conor Lloyd said.
A former student of Kuluk’s said he taught economics and communications at the college campus in the Exchange, but he was transferred to the main campus on Notre Dame Avenue last August. No explanation for the transfer was provided, the former student said.
Kuluk’s LinkedIn profile shows he has been an instructor at the college since April 2010. Before that, he was a self-employed certified management accountant from 1996 to 1999.
On the Rate my Professor website, Kuluk received a score of 3.8 out of five.
Most students said they were happy to have taken Kuluk’s courses, with one saying “he genuinely cares for his students, and will do everything he can for any of them.”
One former student referred to remarks Kuluk made in the classroom.
“Inappropriate comments and stories were shared in class that made some students feel very uncomfortable,” the former student said.
