The case against a former Lethbridge College vice-president has been adjourned until after the holiday season. The case will be back in court Jan. 17. An agent for Buis’s Calgary-based lawyer, Balfour Der, requested the adjournment at the provincial courthouse on Thursday.

On Nov. 5 the court was told that Der and the special prosecution were in ongoing resolution discussions.

Buis was arrested in July after a three-month investigation. He is charged with possessing, accessing and distributing child pornography.

College computers were used to download and obtain sexually explicit videos involving pre-teens, which were also made accessible to others. There were three laptops seized from his home too.

Buis resigned from his position at the college April 9.
