A shocker from the Miramichi where a high school principal is facing four charges as a result of an investigation into Internet child exploitation. 37 year old Kirk Matheson, the principal at North and South Esk Regional High School in Sunny Corner, has been charged with luring, possession of child pornography and counselling to commit an offense.
Matheson is accused of passing himself off on the Internet as a woman to persuade boys to send him nude photos of themselves. Police have identified two victims from the local area thus far.
Matheson, who's scheduled to reappear in court June 11th, has been released from custody but he has to stay clear from the Regional High School.
