Trust was broken

Sutherland commented that teachers are held in a position of trust, and "the allegations in this case represent a deeply troubling breach of this trust."

No further information or details on the case have been released.

The public is reminded that charges are accusations and all persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
