Possession Then last November, Mounties charged Boyce with four child pornography-related charges, including possession and unlawfully making the illegal material available. Boyce joined R.D. Parker as a drama teacher in September of 2008. He is separated from his wife and has an adult daughter. When he resigned from his job, Boyce wrote on his Facebook page: 'It is with mixed emotions that I announce that I resigned my teaching position and am now planning a return to my spiritual home of Prince Rupert (in B.C.) at the end of June.' If found guilty, Boyce may instead find his next home is a prison cell. _ With files from John Barker, Thompson Citizen
