Edmonton Daycare Worker Charged with Sexual Assault

0:00It's April 24th. From your city to your ears, this is Canada News Today, powered by AI. Edminton Police just charged a 21-year-old daycare worker named Cool Raj Singh with sexual assault and sexual interference on a child. He got arrested this past Tuesday, nearly two weeks after a parent reported the incident from April 8th at a West Edminton daycare, where he was a teaching assistant. Investigators say Singh also worked at another spot in Central Edminton, and they think more kids or parents might come forward. Police and the Alberta government won't name the daycares to protect the ongoing probe and privacy. This hits hard on transparency issues for parents, especially after a similar case at a different center where families only got vague alerts about a, serious incident, not the full sexual assault details until later. Parents felt left in the dark, squarking outrage, and calls for clearer rules. Now the education minister is pushing officials to review how daycares notify families during investigations, with possible law changes as soon as this.

Singh suspended from work and child care certification out on bail with strict no-contact rules and bans from kids spots like pools or schools. Court dates May 1st, and police won tips from anyone with info on going story to watch.
