A former education assistant charged with assaulting two teens is taking the charges to trial in Superior Court.
Charges laid against Karen Bagshaw include sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation.
Bagshaw was charged in December 2016.
At the time of Bagshaw’s arrest, Peterborough Police said the charges related to two 15-year-old teens, and that the allegations relate to incidents that began in 2013.
