Former N.S. teacher charged with historical sexual offences
A former Nova Scotia teacher has been charged with historical sexual offences.
In November 2024, the RCMP received a report of historical sexual assault involving a youth victim and a man who was teaching at King's-Edgehill School in Windsor, N.S., at the time of the alleged offences.
'Investigators learned that the offences occurred on and off school property and between the years 2000 and 2002,' reads a news release from the Nova Scotia RCMP.
In January, 48-year-old Roderick Alexander MacDonald, who now lives in British Columbia, was served a summons to attend court in Nova Scotia.
MacDonald has been charged with:
sexual exploitation
invitation to sexual touching
sexual assault
He is scheduled to return to Windsor provincial court on Monday.
'There is no information to suggest there are additional victims and others have not come forward, however, the Nova Scotia RCMP encourages anyone who may be a survivor of sexual assault to contact their local RCMP detachment or police of jurisdiction,' reads the release.
