White Rock RCMP is requesting that anyone with information related to alleged historical sexual offences involving female dance students come forward.

In 2021, White Rock RCMP received a report of a historical sexual assault involving a dance teacher and student at a local dance studio in White Rock, BC. The General Investigation Section took conduct of the investigation.

As the investigation progressed, additional victims were identified, all of whom were youths at the time of the alleged offences. Investigators subsequently submitted a Report to Crown Counsel to the BC Prosecution Service for charge assessment.

On February 12, 2026, the BC Prosecution Service laid charges against 45-year-old Nigel Brock Jellison, commonly known as “Brock Jellison” and a Canada‑wide warrant was issued for his arrest. Jellison faces five counts of Sexual Assault, contrary to section 271 of the Criminal Code, and one count of Sexual Exploitation, contrary to section 153(1)(a) of the Criminal Code. These charges relate to alleged offences involving four victims between 2006 and 2011. There is a publication ban protecting victim identity.

On April 15, 2026, Jellison was arrested in Magrath, Alberta by White Rock RCMP, with the assistance of the Raymond/Magrath RCMP. He was processed and subsequently released on conditions while awaiting his next court appearance.

The alleged offences occurred while Jellison was teaching at a local dance studio in White Rock. Investigators are aware that he has also been associated with other dance studios. Due to the historical nature of the allegations, and to avoid any unintended impact on current studio operations, police will not be identifying the business. Based on the investigation, it is believed that more recently Jellison was teaching in Alberta.

“We believe there may be people within our community who were taught by Brock Jellison or attended the local dance studio who have information and have not yet spoken with police,” says White Rock RCMP Detachment Commander S/Sgt. Rob Dixon. “We are asking anyone with information to contact the White Rock RCMP at 778‑545‑4800.”
