Former Principal of Ontario Christian School Faces Charges of Sexual Assault
The former principal of an Ontario Christian school has been charged with sexual assault, according to police.
The accused, 55-year-old John Smith, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of sexual assault. The alleged incidents occurred between 2015 and 2017, while Smith was the principal of the school.
The investigation was launched after a former student came forward with allegations of sexual assault. The victim, who is now an adult, reported the incidents to police in November 2020.
Smith has since been released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on February 10, 2021.
The school, which has not been named, has released a statement expressing shock and concern over the allegations. They have also stated that Smith is no longer employed at the school and that they are cooperating fully with the police investigation.
Police are urging anyone with information or who may have been a victim of Smith to come forward and speak to investigators.
This is a developing story and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
