Calgary police have charged a teacher with the sexual assault of a teenage girl more than 20 years ago.
In a Monday news release, CPS said the victim, who is now an adult, came forward in 2023.
She reported multiple instances of sexual assault between 2000 and 2003 when her teacher began an inappropriate relationship with her.
Police believe the assaults started when the victim was 14 years old, as a student at École Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys, and continued for several years.
“It is believed the teacher used his position of trust to befriend the victim and develop an ongoing sexual relationship with her,” CPS said in the release.
“Several of the assaults are believed to have taken place in his vehicle and at his residence.”
Police have charged Mario Joseph Denis Arsenault, 54, of Levis, Que., with two counts of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault.
