Waterloo Regional Police have charged a vice-principal as part of an investigation into child luring and sexual exploitation.
Authorities say 50-year-old Michel Pleau was taken into custody on Friday after a joint probe involving officers from Waterloo, Toronto, and Sudbury.
The charges against him include possession, creation, and distribution of child sexual abuse material, inviting sexual touching, and luring a child under 16 years old.
Police also confirmed they informed the school board where Pleau works about his arrest.
The Waterloo Catholic District School Board stated it will cooperate fully with the police while focusing on supporting everyone involved in its school community.
Officials clarified that these alleged crimes are unrelated to any students at the school board.
If anyone has information, they’re encouraged to come forward.
