SASKATOON – Sexual exploitation charges have been stayed against a Saskatoon teacher. Erin McGonigle, 39, had been charged after a 30-year-old woman filed a complaint with police alleging she had been sexually assaulted when she was 16 years old.
Police say at the time, the woman was a student in the school where McGonigle taught.

The case had been moved to Saskatoon’s Court of Queen’s Bench, but the stay of proceedings was issued before a trial date was set.
The stay means the Crown has one year in which the charges may be reactivated.
McGonigle was suspended by Saskatoon Public Schools in September 2013 when the board became aware of the allegations. McGonigle was terminated from the school division in November 2013.
