The Discipline Committee ordered that the teaching certificate of Daniel Yves Martin be revoked for engaging in sexual abuse of a student and a prescribed sexual act. In criminal court, Martin pled guilty to, and was convicted of, one count of sexual interference and one count of obtaining for consideration the sexual services of a person under the age of 18 years.
This matter was disposed of without a hearing in line with the Ontario College of Teachers Act and the rules of procedure of the Discipline and Fitness to Practise committees.
Martin was certified to teach in June 1982.
The Discipline Committee panel ordered that Martin’s Certificate of Qualification and Registration be revoked and that he receive a reprimand.
In their decision, the Discipline Committee panel stated, “Members of the teaching profession are responsible for the safety and well-being of students. Those who engage in criminal behaviour of a sexual nature with children cast serious doubt on their suitability to remain a member of a profession that is committed to the protection of students.”
