Sarnia, Ont., teacher charged with sexual offences against multiple students: police

SARNIA — Sarnia police say a teacher has been charged with sexual offences against multiple students at a local secondary school.

The allegations against the 33-year-old teacher include sexual assault, sexual exploitation and making child pornography.

Police say they involve multiple students who were under his authority as a teacher at Ecole Secondaire Catholique St. Francois Xavier in 2023 and 2024.

Police say they executed a search warrant last week at a Sarnia residence to seize additional evidence and have notified the school board of the arrest.

The school board says the employee in question was on administrative leave at the time of their arrest.

The board says the safety and well-being of staff and students is its primary concern, and support teams will be available at the school.

Investigators believe there may be additional victims or witnesses and are urging them to come forward.
