Teacher, Member of Stephen Harper's band faces sex charge

Phillip Ian Nolan is charged with five counts each of sexual
assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation
involving two under-aged girls.

OTTAWA ─ Stephen Harper's drummer is facing sex charges against two girls dating back 16 years.

The 15 charges laid Thursday against Phillip I. Nolan relate to his role as a music teacher at Avalon Public School in Orléans. Police believe there could be more victims.

The investigation began in November, following a complaint of a sex assault on a minor while Nolan was a teacher for Grade 7 and 8 students.

One of the alleged victims, who is now an adult, came forward, and the investigation led to another possible victim.

Those charges ─ five counts of sexual assault, five counts of sexual interference and five counts of sexual exploitation ─ date back to incidents between 1998 and 2000.  (more...)
