	Former Student Sues Teacher over Alleged Sexual Relationship CityNews [Canada] January 26, 2007 http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_7263.aspx A 22-year-old man is suing his former English teacher after claiming she had sex with him for four years, commencing when he was a grade 11 student at St. Peter's Secondary School in Barrie. The $2.5 million civil suit names the school board and a principal, who according to the claim was told of the affair by the boy's mother but did nothing. The 13-page statement of claim describes how the grade 9 student and teacher would have sex in locked portables while school was going on. It also claims she would invite her alleged lover's friends to her apartment so they could have sex with their girlfriends. "The teacher has been removed from the school and any class and any contact with students," reveals Michael O'Keefe of the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. "It's important for people to remember that these are allegations that have been made and we are conducting a full investigation into these allegations." Former students of the teacher described her as likeable. "She was a cool teacher, she got along with a lot of people there," said Alan Symes. "Everyone seemed to like her. She had good communications with kids there." The teacher is now a librarian at a new school. Barrie police are looking into the case, but haven't laid charges yet, saying the investigation is still in the preliminary stages.
