Leo Hayes High School instructor Christopher ("Topher") Lee Jackson, 43, of Fredericton, to return to provincial court in January to answer to sex-assault, luring & exploitation charges
A former Leo Hayes High School teacher is facing allegations of online luring and sexual offences stemming from his employment at the school, and he’s due back in court early in the new year.
Christopher (“Topher”) Lee Jackson, 43, of Wellington Court, was scheduled to make his first appearance in Fredericton provincial court Friday on four indictable charges alleging sex-related offences involving a minor.
He’s accused of sexually assaulting the complainant, luring that child online for the purpose of committing a sexual offence and touching that minor for a sexual purpose while in a position of trust or authority over that person between Oct. 1, 2023, and Feb. 12, 2024.
Jackson is also accused of another indictable sexual assault on the same minor between Jan. 3 and 4.
