Police have charged a former pastor and the current principal of the Elora Road Christian Fellowship and School with sexual assault in alleged crimes dating back to the 1980s.
Henk Katerberg, 80, of Guelph-Eramosa Township, used to lead the Elora Road Christian Fellowship Church, and has been charged with sexual assault on a child under 16.
John Dekorte, 66, of Fergus, currently serves as principal of the attached school, and faces two counts of the same charge.
Police say the alleged offences took place between 1981 and 1986 at the church and school, which are located in the same building on Wellington Road 7 near Highway 6.
Katerberg spoke to CTV and said he was innocent. Dekorte’s wife denied the charges on her husband’s behalf.
