Bonnyville RCMP have charged a Duclos School teacher with sexual offences after receiving a tip from concerned parents.
RCMP were contacted on Sept. 5 by the concerned parents regarding inappropriate contact with a student by a teacher. RCMP say they were advised at the end of August, the teacher had sexually assaulted the student and paid them money in hopes of not disclosing the incident.
On Sept. 6, following police investigation, Janelle Arnold, a 35-year-old resident of Bonnyville, was arrested.
Arnold was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference.
She was taken before a justice of the peace and released with conditions. Arnold will next appear in court on Oct. 1 in Bonnyville.
The victim is not a current student of Duclos School or Arnold.
RCMP is offering their support and encourage anyone who may be a survivor to come forward and contact them at 780-343-7200.
