The appellant teacher appealed a penalty decision of the Ontario College of Teachers revoking her teaching certificate after she was found guilty of professional misconduct for an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old student.
The appellant argued the Committee erred in admitting expert evidence on 'grooming' at the penalty phase since she was acquitted of actual abuse.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the admission of expert evidence was proper and the penalty of revocation was reasonable and entitled to deference.
