In 1977, Dennis Cooper was a Grade 6 student in teacher Brian Moore's class at North Vancouver's Upper Lynn Elementary School. Cooper is now the lead plaintiff in a proposed class action lawsuit against Moore, which alleges the former teacher groomed and sexually assaulted male students on outings and field trips.

After more than four decades, Dennis Cooper is ready to share his story.

“He was a part of my life, and he was represented as a trusted figure like an uncle in my family,” Cooper said Thursday. “It was very typical of him to befriend the parents of the children that he taught.” “We were waterskiing, we were snow-skiing, we were swimming at the university, we were going on camping trips,” Cooper said. “It was our adventure that all of us wanted, and that’s what made us vulnerable.”

Dennis Cooper is seen in a class photo with his Grade 6 teacher at North Vancouver’s Upper Lynn Elementary School in 1977.
