John Olubobokun, a former director of Christian Centre Academy — now known as Legacy Christian Academy — is on trial for nine counts of assault with a weapon.
Olubobokun is also one of twenty-five defendants in a $25-million class-action lawsuit against the school, its affiliated church and the provincial government, suing for damages for years of alleged physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
Those allegations have not yet been proven in court, but criminal charges have followed a number of the civil defendants since the lawsuit launched in 2022.
