A 39-year-old teacher has been charged with sexual exploitation involving a 16-year-old in 2009, Peel police say.
Investigators said they received information in April that in June 2009, a teacher’s assistant in a Toronto-area high school allegedly sexually exploited a 16-year-old student.
On Wednesday, police arrested Jeffrey Gallo, of Mississauga, and charged him with sexual exploitation.
He is scheduled to appear in a Brampton court on July 5.
Police said Gallo currently works as an elementary school teacher in Mississauga with the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board.
