A minor has been arrested and charged after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced at a Quebec high school earlier this year.
In late March, some parents and students at Massey-Vanier High School in Cowansville, Que. held a demonstration to denounce how staff had handled the allegations.
One parent who spoke to CTV on March 20 said the community was calling on “all the staff, from principals down to aides” to take swift action on allegations from female students.
"There have been boys and girls who have been sexually harassed at the school," said a student who was also at the demonstration and did not want to be identified.
At the time, Eastern Townships School Board President Michael Murray said the administration and police were taking the allegations “very, very seriously.”
Cowansville is located in Quebec’s Eastern Townships region.
Quebec’s prosecutor confirmed Thursday that a young suspect first appeared before a judge on March 28, and that they are also in detention for another case.
