On Dec. 8, 2016, Lundgren arranged to meet an undercover officer, who he thought was a pedophile with an eight-year-old niece, at the pool, where he said he could touch his genitals while sitting beside the girl in a hot tub.

However, Lundgren did not go to the pool that day. He told the officer he had a meeting and suggested they meet another day.

Those facts were presented on Monday in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench, where Lundgren was sentenced to three years in prison for committing online child sex crimes while he was a high school teacher in Red Deer and Saskatoon.

Justice Ronald Mills accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence, saying the sentence would not put the administration of justice into “disrepute.”
