Two top officials at an all-boys Catholic school in Toronto have resigned amid a police investigation into a case of sexual assault by students as well as criticism over the institution’s handling of the allegations.


St. Michael’s College School in a statement this week announced that principal Greg Reeves and board president Father Jefferson Thompson resigned, both of them “citing a shared desire to move the school forward without distractions” in light of the recent “horrific events of student behavior.”

Toronto Police on Monday arrested six boys, who are all 14 and 15, from the school on total of 18 charges, including assault, gang sexual assault, and sexual assault with a weapon, in connection with a video that’s been shared online.

In the 22-second clip, a group of students can be seen holding a boy down while another two students appear to assault him with a broomstick, according to The Star.

Authorities learned about the incident just last week and believe it happened earlier in the school year. Police are also investigating additional crimes, and suspect that as many four others videos could be circulating on social media, said Toronto Police Inspector Dominic Sinopoli.

St. Michael’s expelled eight students in connection with the assault allegations, thought it’s unclear if any of them are among those who were arrested. The high school is also launching an independent review into the school’s culture and urged students to utilize a new anonymous voicemail should they want to share their own experiences.
