Teaching Assistant Charged with Child Sexual Assault

0:00It's May 1st, from your city to your ears. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. A 21-year-old teaching assistant named Cool Raj Singh faces charges of sexual assault and sexual interference after allegedly attacking a child. At Kid's Town Daycare in West Edmonton, he got arrested on April 21, almost two weeks after a parent tipped off police. CBC News just confirmed the spot at 951-2163 Street, northwest in the Glenwood area. At first, Alberta's government and Edmonton police held back the daycare's name to protect privacy in the investigation. But after pushing officials, education minister Demetrius Nicolades verified it in a statement, saying, affected parents got contacted and child. Safety steps were taken right away. The daycare acted fast, pulling same from all duties with no more kid contact, and they fired him while teaming up with police and licensing folks. Their top goal is shielding kids and families.

1:01Singh's certification got suspended too, so he can't work in the Alberta child care gig until court wraps. Turns out, Singh held down a job at another central Edmonton daycare, but cops won't name it yet for investigative reasons. No extra charges so far, though they're hunting more tips since they suspect other victims. Police cut him loose on bail with strict rules. No touching the complainant, steering clear of kid spots like schools, pools, or libraries, and no. Trust rolls with anyone under 16. He heads to court this Friday, as the probe rolls on.
