Delta police today released the name of the Delta Secondary teacher charged with sexual assault after an alleged incident at the school last month.
Robin Wait, 43, is now facing two charges of sexual interference of a person under 16 and two counts of sexual assault stemming from the Nov. 4 incident and a previous incident that occurred in May.
Police were called to the Ladner high school Nov. 4 after a female student reported that she had been assaulted by an unknown adult near the school gym.
After launching an investigation into the allegations, police arrested Wait on Nov. 6.
The teacher has been released on bail on a number of conditions including no contact with the victims or any witnesses.
The teacher was immediately suspended with pay upon his arrest, said Delta School District spokesperson Deneka Michaud.
She said the status of his suspension will be reviewed as the case progresses.
Michaud also said the district will launch its own internal investigation of the accusations once given the go ahead from police.
