CALGARY, ALBERTA – An “inappropriate” relationship between a junior high school librarian and a student continued even after court-imposed orders forbade contact, police alleged Thursday.
The librarian, identified by QMI Agency sources as Agnes Kooy, reported to be in her late 40s, was charged this summer following a complaint brought forth by the parents of a 15-year-old boy who police say had entered into the “ongoing” relationship that began earlier in the school year.
Ted Flitton, a spokesman for the Calgary Board of Education, would not reveal the school in question, citing privacy legislation.
“What I can tell you is when Calgary Police Service told us in July that they had laid charges, we took immediate steps to have her removed from the school and all schools, and with a view to her not returning to work,” Flitton said.
Police said the alleged relationship, consensual but illegal due to the boy’s age, was brought to their attention by the family as well as the school.
“After remedies weren’t satisfied through some sort of intervention with the parents and the school, they went to the police,” Staff Sgt. Mark Hatchette told CTV.
