New charges laid against Saskatoon school staffer accused of sexual assault
Hessam Aldin Sahrapour now faces six assault charges and six counts of sexual assault after an additional student came forward, alleging that they were sexually assaulted.
A former employee of a Saskatoon school has been charged with six additional counts of sexual assault following the allegations of a sixth student who came forward claiming they were sexually assaulted last year, according to police and prosecutors. Hessam Aldin Sahrapour, 41, now faces a total of six assault charges and six additional sexual assault charges, with the allegations dating back to incidents involving five girls, all aged 10, that reportedly occurred during the 2025-2026 school year, as confirmed by the Saskatoon Provincial Court to Global News.
He was previously charged in September with five counts of assault and sexual assault in connection with the assaults, which were said to have taken place at St. Mary’s Wellness and Education Centre, where Sahrapour was employed. Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools confirmed that Sahrapour was dismissed from his position following an internal investigation, as reported by the organization in an email statement to Global News.
