An employee with the Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education (CCRCE) is facing sex charges involving a student.
East Hants District RCMP say they received a report June 3 about inappropriate contact with a student by a staff member working at Uniacke District School.
The intervention teacher allegedly inappropriately touched a student on multiple occasions in December 2023.
The 35-year-old man worked in several different schools within the CCRCE area employed as a math interventionist.
He was placed on leave in May once initial concerns were made.
He has been released on conditions and will appear in court in October facing these charges:
- Sexual Interference
- Sexual Exploitation of a Young Person
