LONDON, Ont. — A London, Ont., college professor is facing sex charges dating back to the period when he was an Anglican priest at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church on the Chippewa-On-The-Thames Native Reserve outside London.

Police say they investigated allegations of sexual abuse involving three First Nation boys that began in 1977 when they were seven years old, and ended in 1983 when they were 12 years old.

It is alleged that the offences occurred at the home of the accused in London.

David Norton, 69, is charged with three counts of indecent assault on a male, and one count of sexual assault.

Police say the investigation is continuing and are asking anyone with information related to the alleged incidents, or similar incidents, to call investigators.

A spokeswoman for King’s University College, where Norton is a professor, says the school has been made aware of the situation and Norton “will be on a leave of absence with pay pending the outcome.”

“He will not be teaching here while this investigation is ongoing,” Jane Antoniak said Friday, noting that the investigation “in no way relates to King’s University College.”
