Robin Wait is facing charges of assault and sexual assault stemming from two incidents last year.


The former Delta Secondary teacher made an appearance in Downtown Community Court last week and has his next court appearance scheduled for April 24.


In November 2011, officers were called to Delta Secondary after a student alleged a teacher had sexually assaulted her. Wait was identified by the girl and a friend through photos in the school yearbook. A few days later, a second student made similar allegations and Wait was charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.


After the arrest and charges, Wait was suspended without pay by the Delta school district.


In August 2012, Crown counsel elected to stay the charges against Wait, stating there was not a substantial likelihood of a conviction in the case.


Last year, Wait launched a lawsuit against the Corporation of Delta and four unnamed Delta police officers claiming the investigation was negligent because the officers failed to properly interview the two girls and other relevant witnesses.
That case is still before the courts.
