BC high school teacher faces child pornography charges for making sexually explicit material available to a minor, removed from duties

A schoolteacher in BC’s Lower Mainland has been charged with several sexual offenses, two of which are related to child pornography. The high school teacher identified as Lovesh Ramsaha is facing counts of making or publishing child pornography, distributing child pornography, luring a child under the age of 18, and making sexually explicit material available to a child under the age of 18, CTV News reported, citing online court records

The records also revealed that all the charges stem from incidents dating back to August 1, 2024, in Pitt Meadows. A letter was sent to parents informing them that Ramsaha, a teacher at Pitt Meadows Secondary School, was “removed from his duties.”

According to a letter sent on Friday (August 15, 2025), the action was taken by the administrators immediately after they learned of the allegations against him. “I understand this news is circulating in the community,” wrote principal Colin Sharpe in the letter, as quoted by CTV News.


“Please be assured that the safety and well-being of our students is always our highest priority. Within our school, we will continue to focus on caring for and supporting our students, staff, and families as we move forward together as a school community,” the letter read.

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District refused to comment on the matter due to privacy legislation and because the matter is now before the courts. According to online records, Ramsaha is out on bail, and his next appearance before the court is scheduled for August 21, 2025.
