Female teacher faces sex charges

A 35-year-old family studies teacher at Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate Institute has been charged with sexual exploitation after allegedly having a relationship with a student.

Crime Stoppers received a tip early this month, police said, about a woman who started an inappropriate relationship with a male student soon after she started teaching in 2005 at the Toronto school on Falstaff Ave. near Highway 401 and Jane St.

The ensuing investigation resulted in an arrest on Tuesday.

She has been on home assignment and has not been in contact with students, the school said in a letter to students today.

Paola Queen is scheduled to appear in court on April 17.
