St. Catharines Teacher Charged With Sexual Assault

Charges relate to one victim, but police believe there could be more

A teacher from St. Catharines is facing sexual assault charges.

Police say in January, a student reported being inappropriately touched by a teacher at Governor Simcoe Secondary School on Glenview Avenue. 

The DSBN suspended the teacher after the allegations surfaced, pending the results of the investigation. 

Earlier today, 46 year old David Michael Cockburn of St. Catharines was arrested and charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of sexual exploitation.

Police say the charges relate to one victim, but they believe there could be more. 

A bail hearing will take place tomorrow. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009504.
