The Ontario College of Teachers brought disciplinary proceedings against a retired member who had pled guilty to multiple criminal charges of sexual assault and gross indecency involving young male students.
The member also acknowledged possessing child pornography.
The member did not attend the hearing but submitted an Agreed Statement of Facts and a Joint Submission on Penalty, pleading guilty to professional misconduct and sexual abuse of students.
The Discipline Committee accepted the joint submission, finding the member guilty of professional misconduct.
The Committee ordered the immediate revocation of the member's certificate of qualification and registration, noting the egregious nature of the grooming and sexual abuse.
