03/02/2020 2016 BCSC 686 Pritchard v. Van Nes i) From a “friend”: This is abnormal behaviour. Contact police again until they come talk to him. j) From a “friend”: Yikes. Creepfest. k) From a “friend”: I’m sure the local police would like to chat with him. Scumbag! l) From a “friend”: OMG… this guy was my neighbour it would ‘his’ nightmare!!! I have a lot of tolerance but not for someone doing this… call your local peeps and the local media. Guarantee the huge attention will at least embarras him. To which the defendant replied: Super stressed! I was just told my oldest will be taught music by him in middle school… Ewe m) From a “friend”: Sounds like he’s a total douchebag. You should get a camera and set it to watch him, and live feed it to the internet as well. But play hardcore gay porn sounds over the video feed… To which the defendant replied: Oh Robert you make me laugh man! n) From a “friend”: sounds like a person whom is very mentally disturbed//pedo wise ..scary [expletive] o) From a “friend”: Sounds like a peeper to me. This way beyond creepy! Would be tempted to put a sign on the lawn with an arrow pointing at his house that says “john smith is video taping my children and there is no legal way to stop him” See what the general public does with that. To which the defendant replied: I just find it creepy that someone is willing to put so much time and energy into catching a dog wandering, child misbehaving or parking violation… Not saying he’s 100% a dirty birdy, just a creep [24] As may be seen from the foregoing quotations, Mr. Pritchard was expressly referred to as a “pedo”, “creeper”, “nutter”, “freak”, “scumbag”, “peeper” and a “douchebag”. [25] Two particularly disturbing posts were from a “friend” of the defendant identified as “Rick Parks”. They stated: why don’t you just send this picture to his principal? He may have a legal right to video tape your children but is he not responsible as a teacher to not be a “creep” with his current and future students. Use his position as a teacher against him. I would also send it to the newspaper. shame is a powerful tool. And: PS I have shared this picture on my own timeline with my own thoughts – I would encourage others to do so as well. Why don’t we let the world know about Doug and his actions so other children, who he may teach in the future, are aware of what he does in his spare time. The latter post concluded with a “smiley face” emoticon. https://www.bccourts.ca/jdb-txt/sc/16/06/2016BCSC0686.htm 6/26
