We need to educate our kids to beware of assholes like him.



A 40-year-old teacher at a downtown Toronto high school has been charged with sexual exploitation. Timothy Dingwall, a teacher at Harbord Collegiate Institute, is now on home assignment. A spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board said Tuesday that the school called the police when the allegations were first brought forward.

"When the allegations were brought forward to school officials, police were immediately contacted, and the teacher has been off since that time," Kelly Baker told CTV News.
On Monday, the school sent students at the school home with a letter informing parents of the allegations, she said.

What does "is now on home assignment mean?". He is not in jail?

In Canada you are innocent till proven guilty.

Sexual exploitation, according to the article involves a 16 or 17 year old. With teens of that age I would say the charges have a 50/50 chance of being valid. Unless there are witnesses or several victims how the heck do you prove anything?

My guess is it means suspended with pay.

I am sure that the teacher being in a position of authority adds to the seriousness of the alleged crime.
