Crown appeals

Armstrong stay

Regional crown counsel has
appealed a stay-of-proceedings
entered on sexual assault charges
against former North Saanich
Middle School teacher Geoffrey
Armstrong.

If successful, the appeal will
allow the Crown to proceed with
the charges, which were quashed
in a Nov. 4 decision by Judge Alan
Filmer.

Judge Filmer cited Crown delays
in proceeding with the case as the
reason for withdrawing the
charges. There was a 22-month
delay between the preliminary
hearing and the Nov. 4 trial date.

The appeal of Filmer’s decision
was entered in the B.C. Court of
Appeal last week and listed nine
reasons for challenging the judge’s
decision.

No date has been set for the
appeal to be heard.

Armstrong had been charged
with five counts of sexual assault
involving three students at the
school.

Armstrong is no longer working
as a teacher.
