Child pornography-related charges were withdrawn Thursday against a former Calgary elementary school principal who entered into a peace bond instead of proceeding to trial. At the time, he was the principal at Sacred Heart School in the southwest community of Sunalta but resigned after charges were laid. On Thursday, Campbell entered into a peace bond, meaning there is an admission that police have a fear that a criminal offence could take place. Entering into this type of peace bond is not a guilty plea, and the accused person does not admit the facts alleged by the Crown. At the request of the Crown, Justice Lloyd Robertson withdrew the criminal charges at the end of the hearing.
