OTTAWA — A 56-year-old Ottawa teacher is facing sex charges alleging he abused students.
Ottawa police say Timothy Stanutz is charged with two counts of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault.
The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred while Stanutz was employed by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Investigators say they are concerned that there are other alleged victims and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Staff Sgt. Angela McDade says Ottawa police will respect a victim’s wishes to pursue or not pursue the matter in courts.
But McDade says reporting incidents to police is key for investigators to “identify suspects and determine crime trends.”
