Legacy Christian Academy: Another staff member charged with assault at controversial private school [Video]

Another person affiliated with a Saskatoon Christian school embroiled in legal trouble over multiple allegations of abuse has been charged with assault.

In a news release on Tuesday afternoon, Saskatoon police said a 44-year-old woman affiliated with the Legacy Christian Academy — now Valour Academy — turned herself in on Monday to face a charge of assault with a weapon.

According to police, the new charges stem from a report they received in June of a recent assault at the faith-based private school at the centre of a $25 million lawsuit claiming a history of abuse.
