Former Ontario teacher Ryan Imgrund has been found guilty of professional misconduct and will no longer be allowed to teach at public schools in the province after allegations of sexual and emotional abuse of students were brought forward.
The decision was made at a disciplinary hearing on Monday.
“The member’s certificate was revoked as a result of a decision by a panel of the Discipline Committee or the Fitness to Practice Committee of the College,” a note on the Ontario College of Teacher’s (OCT) website says.
“The person is no longer a member of the College.”
Imgrund, who often provided commentary throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as a self-described “biostatician,” was facing professional misconduct allegations related to“sexually,” “emotionally” and “psychologically” abusing students.
No criminal charges have been filed against Imgrund.
The first allegations were made public in a notice of hearing filed by the OCT in August 2022. The allegations state that Imgrund messaged four female students, who he was coaching as part of a school team, late at night and in the early morning during an out of town trip inviting them to join him at a resort pool.
