Teacher cleared of historical sex charges A Mississauga teacher has been found not guilty of sex charges stemming from incidents at a Meadowvale elementary school some 30 years ago. Oakville resident Cornelis Kersten, left Brampton court a free man last Thursday (Sept. 24) after Justice Gordon Lemon acquitted him on the charges following a trial. Investigators from the Peel Regional Police Special Victims Unit arrested and charged Kersten with sex-related offences in March 2008. A man alleged the incidents occurred in 1978 at Shelter Bay Public School, where Kersten was a teacher. Kersten was charged with indecent assault on a male and gross indecency. Kersten is currently employed by the Peel District School Board as an occasional teacher. 5 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 30, 2009 Two charged in church vandalism Two Hamilton men have been arrested in connection with an early August rampage that saw more than $10,000 worth of vandalism done to Trafalgar Presbyterian Church.
