North Vancouver Coach Charged With 10 Sexual‑Offence Counts

Prosecutors filed charges after a multiyear RCMP investigation into allegations from youth players.

Overview

  • Charges were laid Thursday by the B.C. Prosecution Service following a police file, with North Vancouver RCMP naming Iraj Mozaffari as the accused.
  • The indictment lists 10 counts in total: three counts of sexual interference of a person under 16, two counts of touching a young person for a sexual purpose, and five counts of sexual assault.
  • Police say their probe began after multiple reports to RCMP on Dec. 22, 2024 and included extensive interviews with alleged victims and witnesses before the file was sent to prosecutors.
  • Publication bans now protect the identities of complainants and RCMP victim services have urged anyone affected to call 604-969-7540 for support.
  • The case is now in the criminal justice system with no trial date or judicial outcome reported yet and the charges could trigger wider community reviews of youth-sport safeguarding and reporting practices.
