The Discipline Committee ordered that the teaching certificate of Darren Green be revoked for sexually abusing two students (Student 1 and Student 2). In criminal court, Green was convicted of two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference in relation to Student 1. He was also convicted of one count of sexual exploitation and one count of sexual assault in relation to Student 2.
Green was certified to teach in June 1994.
This matter was disposed of without a hearing in accordance with section 30.2(8) of the Ontario College of Teachers Act, 1996 and Rule 9.03 of the Rules of Procedure of the Discipline Committee and of the Fitness to Practise Committee.
The Discipline Committee panel ordered that Green’s Certificate of Qualification and Registration be revoked and that he receive a reprimand.
In their decision, the 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 a student cast serious doubt on their suitability to remain a member of [the] profession and their ability to practice the profession without putting students at risk.”
