Thursday marked day four of the trial of Jeffrey Dumba, a former Regina teacher who is accused of sexually exploiting a 15-year-old female student.
Dumba is charged with five separate counts of sexual exploitation.
Proceedings began on Thursday with the cross examination of the victim, followed by Dumba taking the witness stand.
The two both shared different recollections of the same events.
Both Dumba and the victim established that a sexual correspondence took place over Snapchat and text messages.
The accused went on to admit to engaging in sexual correspondence with the victim.
"I remember her sending me nude photos and then me sending nude photos back," Dumba said on the stand.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
