teacher said not showing up on his client's behalf in territorial court Tuesday morning was an unfortunate mistake. Peter Harte told CBC News that Neil Barry's name was accidentally dropped from his client list when he was updating it. Barry is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual exploitation for incidents that allegedly occurred in the summer of 2009, during what police say were the 2010 Arctic Winter Games tryouts. Barry told CBC News that in fact, he taught in Tulita from 2004 to 2011, and in Fort Simpson from 2011 to 2017. Barry also told CBC News that police reference to alleged events having occurred during Arctic Winter Games tryouts in the summer of 2009 are impossible, as there were no tryouts then for the 2010 winter games.
