Calgary Police have charged a teacher who is believed to be responsible for the sexual assault of a teenage girl more than 20 years ago.
In 2023, the victim, who is now an adult, came forward to police to report multiple instances of sexual assault that occurred between 2000 and 2003, when her teacher at the time began an inappropriate relationship with her.
It is believed the sexual assaults started when the victim was 14 years old while attending École Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys and continued for several years after.
As a result, we have charged Mario Joseph Denis ARSENAULT, 54, of Levis, Que., with two counts of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault.
In Canada, there is no time limit on reporting a sexual assault. Anyone who believes they are a victim of sexual assault is encouraged to report it, even if many years have passed since the incident.
Anyone with information about this incident, or similar incidents, is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234.
The accused will next appear in court on Thursday, June 6, 2024.
