Perth teacher facing more sexual assault charges involving minors

Lanark County OPP have once again charged a Perth, Ont., teacher following an additional complaint of a historic sexual assault of a minor.

OPP originally released information about the now-43-year-old Jeffrey Peters’ charges on Nov. 7.

OPP gave very few details about the incidents that lead to his charges — two counts each of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and invitation to sexual touching in relation to information received by police in October.

When the charges were first announced, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario told Global News it had suspended Peters as a precaution.

Peters is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 16.
