Former Burlington teacher charged with historic sexual assault

A former elementary school teacher has been arrested in connection with the historic sexual assault of a student in Burlington.

Halton police say a woman who was a former student at John T. Tuck Public School contacted police back in July and reported she had been sexually assaulted by a teacher when she attended the school in 1982.

Investigators have charged 72-year-old Michael O’Grady, of Burlington, with indecent assault to a female.

O’Grady taught at several schools within the Halton District School Board and police believe there may be more victims.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact Det. Const. Carly Irwin at 905-825-4747, ext. 8976.
