Port Hope teacher accused of sex crimes on students in talks to plead guilty | CBC News
Briefly

Kelly-Anne Jennings, a Grade 8 teacher from Ontario, faces 18 charges related to sexual offences involving students, including serious allegations of sexual assault and child pornography. The accused is currently on unpaid leave and may plead guilty before the case reaches trial, according to court discussions. The offences occurred between June 2022 and April 2024, with charges stemming from reports made by a male student about inappropriate conduct. The police investigation led to the identification of four alleged victims, and Jennings had been employed at St. Anthony Catholic Elementary School since 2016.
At a hearing in Cobourg, reports revealed that Kelly-Anne Jennings may agree to plead guilty to some or all of the 18 sexual offence charges against her.
Investigators first charged Jennings after a male student reported inappropriate contact to his mother, which led to multiple other minors coming forward.
