Until this week, Myles Tabin taught gym and wellness classes at Robert Usher Collegiate. He was fired by the school board.
Police say they have 118 pages of online discussions between Tabin and four female students. The allegations of explicit conversations over the Internet are contained in a search warrant, which says Tabin had online discussions with a 15-year-old female student about her sexual desires.
According to the search warrant, Tabin encourages the girl to touch a male student in a sexual manner, and report back to him about the encounter.
The search warrant also talks about closed-door meetings between Tabin and various female students. Police say Tabin was warned by the principal that such meetings violate school policy.
A police investigation into the matter is ongoing. No charges have been laid.
Myles Tabin refused to comment when CBC contacted him.
