13 Year Old Male Student At National Ballet School Arrested For Sexual Assault


The thirteen year old boy was released on bail into the custody of his parents Saturday after he was charged according to the Toronto Star. He was arrested on Friday after a police investigation. The two girls claim that they were assaulted between September 2006 and October 2007. The investigation began after the Catholic Children's Aid Society received an anonymous tip about the young man.

The youth faces ten charges all together from the allegations of the 11 and 12 year old female students. Seven of those are for sexual assault. The other charges are two for sexual interference and one count of invitation to sexual touching.

"This is a terrible situation and not representative of life at the National Ballet School," Jeff Melanson, the school's administrative director, told the Star.
