Teacher Faces Serious Charges Following Student Allegations
York Regional Police have laid criminal charges against a private school teacher following disturbing allegations of sexual assault involving a student during Bible study sessions. The case came to light when a youth came forward to report inappropriate conduct that allegedly occurred during one-on-one sessions at a Markham educational institution.
Chronology of Events and Police Response
According to police documents, the investigation began on November 13, 2025, when a youth reported that their teacher had allegedly touched them for sexual purposes during multiple Bible study sessions between September and November 2025. The incidents reportedly took place during private tutoring sessions at the school, which authorities have declined to identify to protect the victim's identity.
Following a thorough investigation, police arrested and charged Taurus Chung, 40, of Richmond Hill on Tuesday with sexual assault and sexual exploitation. Chung has taught primarily as a mathematics instructor at the private school for 17 years, raising concerns about the potential duration and scope of the alleged misconduct.
Police Seek Additional Victims
Investigators have expressed concern that there may be additional victims and have taken the unusual step of releasing the suspect's photograph in hopes that others who may have been affected will come forward. The special victims unit is leading the investigation and has established multiple channels for information sharing.
York Regional Police are urging anyone with information to contact their special victims unit directly at 1-866-876-5423, extension 7071. Alternatively, anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or visiting their online portal at www.1800222tips.com.
The case has sent shockwaves through the Markham educational community, particularly given the teacher's long tenure and the trusted environment in which the alleged assaults occurred. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding these serious allegations while emphasizing the importance of victim protection and community awareness.
