With Sex Crime Case Dropped, Ex-Broward School Security Monitor Wants to Clear Name, Return to Job

  • Albert Stefanus de Villiers, who previously served as the lead medical officer for Interior Health, relinquished his medical license as of March 1, 2023, following a conviction for sexual interference in Alberta.
  • De Villiers was convicted following allegations of sexual interference with a child occurring between 2018 and 2020 while he worked for Alberta Health Services in Grande Prairie, with related sexual assault charges stayed due to overlap.
  • He was found guilty by the Court of King's Bench on February 7, 2023, sentenced to five and a half years in prison in June 2023, and was ordered to pay a $2,000 peace bond with a lifetime no-contact order.
  • On May 20, 2023, the disciplinary committee overseeing medical professionals in British Columbia publicly confirmed that De Villiers’s behavior was unacceptable and prohibited him from practicing medicine; his resignation and license relinquishment were components of the imposed disciplinary actions.
  • De Villiers’s disciplinary actions ensure he no longer practices medicine in British Columbia or other jurisdictions, as he agreed not to reapply to regulate medical practice elsewhere, reflecting lasting professional consequences.
