Police say Jeffrey G. Dumba was arrested without incident and school administration is aware of the incident.
“The Regina Police Service will not name the specific school at this time, as all who need to know will be made aware. This decision also protects the victim’s identity and privacy,” the police statement added.
According to a student handbook accessible online, Dumba was a science and biology teacher at Thom Collegiate during the 2019-2020 school year.
Police say the investigation is ongoing.
