Ontario College of Teachers v. Murphy, 2012 ONOCT 30

Professional misconduct allegations of physical abuse dismissed due to inconsistent student evidence and flawed investigations.

The Ontario College of Teachers alleged that an occasional teacher committed professional misconduct by physically abusing two students in a computer lab.

The Discipline Committee dismissed the allegations, finding that the College failed to prove the allegations on a balance of probabilities.

The Committee noted significant inconsistencies in the students' evidence and found the investigations conducted by the school administration and the Children's Aid Society to be flawed and heavily reliant on hearsay.

The Member's testimony denying the allegations was found to be clear, cogent, and consistent.
