Greg Reeves resigned as principal of the prestigious St. Michael's College School in November 2018 - 10 days after a student showed him a video that showed a sexual assault on campus.
He said he did not tell police about the incident until a Toronto police officer came to the school for an unrelated matter around 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 14.“There was never no intent not to call police, but it was to protect the victim and their family.”The accused teen has pleaded not guilty to two counts each of gang sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon and assault with a weapon related to two incidents in which students were sexually assaulted with a broom handle.
The vice-principal told court last week he saw the accused in the video holding down the arms of the victim when he watched the video with the principal.Under cross-examination from the defence, Reeves said the school was also in the process of expelling four students that morning for their role in bullying another student.
Reeves then had “expulsion meetings” with those students before turning his attention to the sexual assault around 12:30 p.m. “It would have been way faster than police to find the students who committed the assault and to remove them from the school and to assist ” Reeves said.“You agree the best efforts to keep students safe failed, is that correct?” Tomlinson asked.A former teammate of the accused also testified Friday about the sex assault that took place in October.
