Toronto police have arrested another St. Michael’s College School student, a month after allegations of sexual assault and assault rocked the private Catholic school for boys.
The 15-year-old boy has been charged in connection with one incident that took place at the school, according to his lawyer, Nicholas Xynnis. It’s unclear what charge he’s facing at this time.
Police are holding a 11:30 a.m. ET news conference about their investigation. You can watch the announcement above.
So far, seven students have been arrested since news of the assaults, some of which were captured on video and shared on social media, went public.
Six previously charged teens are facing sex assault and assault charges.
The six teens, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were all released on bail after their first appearance in mid-November but were to make another court appearance on Wednesday.
St. Michael’s expelled eight students amid a growing police investigation into eight incidents at the private school.
Two top school officials resigned in wake of the scandal and St. Michael’s has established a “respect and culture” review panel that’s set to report its findings by the summer.
The school has also cancelled its varsity basketball season for this year and scrapped its football program for the next year.
