2 new cases of St. Michael’s College School alleged assaults reported: Toronto police

Toronto police say two additional reports of incidents at St. Michael’s College School have been turned over to investigators.

Meaghan Gray, spokesperson for Toronto police, confirms to Global News that they are investigating two new reports that have come to police attention since Monday.

She said one is considered threatening and another is in regards to assault with a weapon.

Six students are facing charges in connection with one of the alleged sexual assaults that was captured on video.

The two latest cases involve different suspects and victims from the previous incidents.

At a news conference, Insp. Domenic Sinopoli confirmed that police received two new videos of the alleged assault incidents, for a total of four videos of four separate occurrences.

“We are investigating them as criminal offences,” Sinopoli said.

He said police don’t believe there were any injuries in these two incidents, but said the alleged assault with a weapon included the use of a belt.

Sinopoli said investigators don’t know the exact timeline of these two new cases and won’t detail how the videos were obtained, but said the school faculty and principal are co-operating with police to hand over any further evidence they find of alleged assaults.
