Teacher at Mississauga School Charged with Sex Assault

A teacher at a private Muslim school in Mississauga is facing charges in relation to a sex assault investigation.

It offers classes from preschool up to secondary. The elementary school received a perfect score in rankings released last December by the Fraser Institute. Safa and Marwa was established in 1998 and has “a strong focus on morals and characters,” according to its website.

Investigators arrested the suspect on March 3.
