Former Hamilton principal, teacher facing new sex charges

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 24 Oktober 2014 | 22.46

Six new victims have come forward to police to levy accusations of sexual assault against former principal, teacher and truancy counsellor with the Hamilton and Peel school boards.

Whitby resident John Leek, 69, was arrested earlier this month on charges of indecent acts on a male and gross indecency between June 1976 and December 1977, while in Hamilton.

Since news of his arrest broke, six new people have come forward and identified themselves as child victims of sexual assault connected with John Leek. All of the accusations are historical, police say.

According to police, Leek worked for the Hamilton, Peel and Durham District School Boards and the Hamilton District Christian High School. At different points, he was a teacher, a truancy counsellor, a vice principal and a principal.

Leek has also had an "active role" with several children's choirs in Ontario.

"The accused has been employed with the Anglican Church as an organist and has volunteered with several agencies where his position has put him in contact with children," a police news release reads.

On top of his original charges, Leek has now been charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, seven counts of indecent assault on a male and seven counts of gross indecency.

Police are still investigating and believe there may still be more victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Tammi Ewart of the Sexual Assault Unit at 905-540-6477.
