A teacher in ontario 28-year-old has been accused of sexual assault following allegations that she was involved in a sexual relationship with a student.

Marianna Riossi is facing three counts of sexual assault and three counts of sexual exploitation. A hearing in Court is scheduled for 6 march.

According to York regional police, the investigation began in January after the authorities had received information according to which a substitute teacher in the catholic district school board of York was involved in a relationship with a student. The alleged events reportedly took place between October and December 2017.

In a statement reported by the “Toronto Star”, a spokesperson of the school board, has called the allegations serious and “regrettable”.
