Former N.S. teacher charged with historical sexual assaults
Roderick Alexander MacDonald taught at King's-Edgehill School at time of alleged offences
A former teacher at an exclusive private school in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley is facing allegations of sex offences against a youth more than two decades ago.
Roderick Alexander MacDonald, 48, has been charged with sexual exploitation, invitation to sexual touching and sexual assault.
He was a teacher at King's-Edgehill School in Windsor, N.S., at the time of the alleged offences. MacDonald is now living in British Columbia.
In a news release issued Thursday, Nova Scotia RCMP said they were first contacted in November of last year. The alleged offences occurred on and off the King's-Edgehill campus between 2000 and 2002.
In January of this year, MacDonald was served a summons in British Columbia to attend court in Nova Scotia. He is scheduled to appear in Nova Scotia provincial court in Windsor next month.
RCMP said there is no information to suggest there are additional victims.
