A Kamloops man who sent a number of obscene letters to local elementary schools and posted crude sexual drawings at others is again in trouble with the law.
Lowell Swetman appeared in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, Sept. 30, for a trial-confirmation hearing on charges stemming from an incident on June 5.
The 49-year-old is facing one count each of failing to comply with a probation order, breach of probation and wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer.
In 2010, Swetman was convicted of two counts of distributing child pornography.
He was arrested a year earlier after police linked him to a number of obscene letters written and mailed to Kamloops schools.
Prior to that, a crude drawing of a grown man and a young girl engaged in sexual acts had been posted outside A.E. Perry elementary.
Mounties linked Swetman to the letters and drawings after an anonymous tipster called police and offered investigators an old letter Swetman had written.
The key piece of evidence in his B.C. Supreme Court trial was the testimony of an RCMP handwriting expert.
Swetman was sentenced to time served after spending a year in custody awaiting trial. He was also placed on a three-year probation term.
Terms of Swetman's probation included orders barring him from being anywhere where he might be around children under 16 years of age and prohibiting him from possessing any form of pornography.
He was also ordered to take sex-offender counselling, submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and register as a sex offender.
In addition to those terms, Swetman was barred for life from working or volunteering with children and communicating with children on a computer.
The circumstances of his latest charges have not yet been made public.
Swetman is not in custody.
His trial is slated for Nov. 6.
