(Laval) Police forces in Quebec and Ontario are looking for potential victims in a case involving a former teacher facing indecent assault charges dating back more than 40 years.
According to the Laval City Police Service (SPL), Ronald Angelo Cecchini, 70, was arrested in June for an alleged sexual assault on a minor in the early 1980s.
The police indicate that Mr. Cecchini was a teacher in an English primary school in the Chomedey district of Laval, from 1979 to 1982.
Police allege he used his position of authority to initiate sexual contact with a victim.
The SPL says several incidents have been reported over several years, and investigators believe there may be other victims.
Mr. Cecchini also taught in Ontario, and Halton Regional Police on Friday asked anyone in the area west of Toronto, or elsewhere in Ontario, with information about potential victims to contact police.
This indecent assault case returns to court on November 8.
