An Ontario judge has been charged with assault and assault causing bodily harm.
The Ontario Court of Justice announced the charges against Regional Justice Paul Currie in a notice posted on its website on Friday.
“Regional Senior Justice Paul Currie will not be assigned any judicial or administrative duties until further notice,” the post read. “No further information or comment about this matter will be provided at this time.”
Andrew Kennedy, spokesperson for Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey, said Currie was released on bail on April 11 and will return appear at a Guelph courthouse on May 23.
"As this matter is still before the court, it would be inappropriate to comment on any specifics of the case," Kennedy said.
In 2019, Currie was appointed as regional senior justice of Central West Region, which covers courthouses in Brampton, Milton, Orangeville, Guelph, Owen Sound and Walkerton.
