The Crown has withdrawn charges against one of seven St. Michael’s College School students charged in a series of assaults and sexual assaults at the private all-boys’ school, saying there is no reasonable prospect of conviction in his case.

Charges of assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon against the teen were dropped Wednesday morning.

The teen, who was not present in court, cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

His charges were linked to the alleged gang sexual assault of a student in a school locker-room in November 2018, which was videotaped and shared on social media, sparking a Toronto police investigation into a number of other incidents.

“The Crown has done a full assessment of all the evidence in this case against this young person and though at the time there were reasonable and probable grounds for his arrest on these charges, it is the Crown’s current view that there is no reasonable prospect of conviction of this young person,” Crown prosecutor Erin McNamara told the court.

The teen’s lawyer Brian Heller thanked McNamara for her care and professionalism in dealing with the case. Heller declined to comment on why the charges were withdrawn but confirmed the criminal case involving his client has now completely ended.

Publication bans on evidence remain in effect in the three ongoing criminal cases now involving six other St. Michael’s students, all younger teens.

“There is a complex and detailed investigation that ensues from that initial volley of police activity,” Heller said.

A total of seven St. Michael’s students were charged by Toronto police last year following a series of incidents at the school, all involving members of the football team.

The cases first drew police attention late last year after cellphone video of the alleged November 2018 gang sexual assault was shared on social media.

The Star has viewed the 22-second video in which a young teen is held down by several boys in what appears to be a locker room. The video shows the teen being sexually assaulted by two boys with what appeared to be a broomstick. Someone is heard yelling, “Get it in there,” and “Put it in” and, “Chill, chill, chill.”

A total of six students were charged with assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon after the media contacted police about the video.

In December, police laid further charges over two earlier incidents, in September and October, charging a seventh student and laying new charges against four of the previously charged teens.

Two students were charged over the September incident, in which a student was allegedly assaulted with a weapon. Five were charged in an alleged Oct. 17 gang sexual assault of the same student.

The October incident allegedly took place in a locker room and was described by police as similar to the alleged November gang sexual assault of a different student.

Two teens were charged in all three incidents, and two others were charged in both the October and November alleged gang sexual assaults.

One teen was charged only in the October incident and two teens — including the student whose charges were dropped Wednesday — were charged only in the November incident.

St. Michael’s suspended its football program following the police investigations. The school’s principal and president also resigned amid fierce criticism of their response to the allegations.

In response to the incidents, the school, which is known for its sports programs, launched an internal review of the school’s culture and policies.

Seven months later, in May 2019, a review committee found that “bullying is a systemic issue that must be addressed” and recommended reinstatement of the football program “with important safeguards in place.”

The school announced last month that the football program will be reinstated in the fall.

St. Mike’s did not report alleged sexual assault video to police, Toronto police say

In addition to the review, the school also hired a social worker and set up a tipline for students to anonymously report concerns.

The review committee’s final report will be submitted to the school’s board this week and released publicly on Aug. 16, according to the school.

At least eight students were expelled and one was suspended over the incidents.

A St. Michael’s spokesperson said the school would not comment on the legal proceedings or status of students involved “for privacy reasons and due to the current publication ban imposed by the court.”
