A secondary teacher is facing a pair of charges in connection with an alleged sexual assault at St. Catharines, Ont., school, according to Niagara police.

Investigators say administrators from the District School Board of Niagara reached out to detectives revealing a student was “inappropriately touched” by an educator at Governor Simcoe Secondary School on Glenview Avenue.

“All charges relate to the involvement of one victim,” a Niagara Regional Police spokesperson said in an email to Global News.

“Information received throughout the course of the investigation has led detectives to suspect there may be additional victims.”

The 46-year-old accused has been suspended by the board and is facing two charges connected with sexual exploitation.
