A teacher at Carbonear Collegiate is facing charges in connection to allegations of sexual assault against a former student dating to 2015.
Harbour Grace RCMP received the initial complaint in August of this year, which resulted in a search warrant last month on the home of 54-year-old Paul Thomas of Coley’s Point.
A number of electronic devices were seized and examined.
Thomas was arrested at his home on October 6 and released on conditions, including not to be in the presence of a person under the age of 16 unless in the company of another adult.
Charges against Thomas include, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, child luring, and sexual interference.
The investigation continues and RCMP say more charges are possible.
