An employee with the Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education (CCRCE) is facing sex charges involving a student.

East Hants District RCMP say they received a report June 3 about inappropriate contact with a student by a staff member working at Uniacke District School.

The intervention teacher allegedly inappropriately touched a student on multiple occasions in December 2023.

The 35-year-old man worked in several different schools within the CCRCE area employed as a math interventionist.

He was placed on leave in May once initial concerns were made.

He has been released on conditions and will appear in court in October facing these charges:

• Sexual Interference
• Sexual Exploitation of a Young Person
