An Ottawa teaching assistant faces sexual assault charges over allegations that she was involved in a sexual relationship with a boy who was 15 years old.

Ottawa police launched an investigation into allegations that the woman became involved with the teen while working as an educational assistant with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board in 2011.

The OCDSB said Tuesday it has put the accused on leave while case is underway.

“Our primary focus is the safety and well-being of our students and staff and the district will make resources and supports available to those in need,” the board said in a statement, adding it wouldn’t be commenting further on the issue.
