A former Kitimat school principal was confronted Monday by several ex-students who showed up to support a man suing him for damages.
Cyril Bernard Portman is being sued by Allan Carrigan, 50, over an incident that allegedly occurred in 1981 when Carrigan was 12 years old and attending Kildala Elementary.
In October 1983, Portman, who was 46 years old at the time, pleaded guilty to 11 sexual offences involving juveniles. The offences occurred between 1977 and 1983. Portman was sentenced to 18 months in jail and three years of probation.
