Saskatoon police and the provincial education ministry confirmed they’re investigating new allegations of assault at a private Christian school embroiled in a $25 million lawsuit claiming a history of abuse.
In a statement to CTV News on Monday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education said it’s aware of the allegations that a staff member at Legacy Christian Academy assaulted a young student, and it is investigating.
The Saskatoon Police Service also confirmed it was investigating a report of an assault involving a staff member of the school.
A spokesperson would not confirm details of the investigation, but said police received the report on June 1.
CTV News contacted Legacy Christian Academy about the latest allegation and has not yet received a response.
The private Christian school is at the centre of a civil lawsuit and several former staff members are facing criminal charges.
Roughly two dozen officials from Legacy Christian Academy and its affiliated Mile Two Church are named in a $25 million class action lawsuit launched by former students who allege they were subject to physical, psychological and sexual abuse at school.
