Former Alberta teacher facing new charges of sexual assault against junior high student
-
For the second time in a year, a former Calgary teacher, who is now in his 80s, is facing sexual assault charges dating back decades.
Court records show Fred Archer, 81, faces two new charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation in relation to one male complainant between 1985 and 1986.
The latest charges come as a $15-million class-action lawsuit is in its final stages of settling for about 40 people who allege they were abused by Archer or another former teacher who worked at John Ware Junior High School.
Archer has already served a three-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting former students.
In January 2025, police announced five (more) criminal charges against Archer.
The offences included sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching from incidents alleged to have taken place at John Ware involving two 12-year-old students.
