Ms. Kelman has acquired extensive experience of abuse matters as a member of the Metropolitan Toronto Committee on Child Abuse. She was hired by the Metropolitan Toronto Board of Education as a consultant to deal with one of the first, and still the biggest case of abuse by a teacher that the Toronto Board had experienced. Graham Wishart, a department head of Music at

Oakwood Collegiate and a naturally known talent, had been charged with sexual assault of a dozen or more boys over a period of several years. He would entice boys up to a summer cottage, where he would sexually assault them. http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/lbrr/archives/hq%2072.c2%20a3%201997-eng.pdf

A teacher at a Scarborough elementary school is facing 42 charges in connection with a sexual assault investigation prompted by complaints from more than two dozen students. Christian Kpodjie, 53, faces charges including 16 counts of sexual assault, 12 counts of sexual exploitation, and 14 counts of assault. He turned himself in to police on Wednesday. At a press conference Thursday morning, Toronto District School Board legal counsel Grant Bowers explained that Kpodjie has taught at a total of five Toronto schools since 2007, including his most recent job teaching French to Grade 4, 5 and 6 students at Inglewood Heights Junior Public School in Scarborough.

A teacher at Inglewood Heights Jr. Public School is facing 42 charges in connection with a sexual assault investigation.

Toronto District School Board Lawyer Grant Bowers addresses the media, Thursday, March 28, 2013.

This is the first allegations weve received, Bowers told reporters. Kpodjie worked at Gateway PS last year. In 2010 he worked at Chester Le Junior PS, and in 2009 at Derrydown PS. In 2008, he worked at Humberwood Downs Junior Middle Academy. Bowers said the current allegations all stem from Inglewood. My understanding at the moment, is that they all involve Inglewood period, Bowers said. Beyond that, we have no knowledge.

Toronto Police say 30 of Kpodjies students came forward, alleging he sexually assaulted them in the school during school hours, CTV Torontos Naomi Parness reported. Parents dropping their kids off at Inglewood Thursday morning expressed shock and concern over the allegations. Its always disturbing, Im always concerned about my childrens welfare, one parent told CTV. A crisis response team was at Inglewood Wednesday and again on Thursday to provide counselling support to students, staff and alleged victims, and will continue to be there as long as needed, said David Johnston, the TDSBs senior manager of professional support services. Johnston said the board is doing its best to provide help to the community. Its disappointing, but I think if theres any good news for us its that the students are comfortable, they trust us and are willing to come forward knowing that were going to accept what they have to say and take it forward. A school community meeting regarding the charges and ongoing investigation is scheduled for April 2 at Inglewood Heights. Letters are also being sent to the four other TDSB schools where the accused has worked. As a teacher in Ontario, he would have undergone a full criminal background check. However, Bowers said Kpodjie obtained his original teaching qualifications in Ghana. Obviously, international records are not as complete as Canadian records, but there are some, Bowers said, explaining the TDSB typically relies on the Canadian Police Information Centre, operated by the RCMP. Toronto Police also provide full background checks. In addition, all TDSB employees are required, on an annual basis, to fill out a form in which they declare whether or not theyve been convicted of a criminal offence, Bowers said. The accused has been suspended from work with pay. Speaking on CP24 Thursday, Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals wouldnt comment on the case, but said she wants to ensure convicted offenders are properly punished. Where there does need to be discipline that the College of Teachers is doing everything it can do in terms of removing the licence, Sandals said.
