"Former Sutherland teacher charged with sexual"

Victor Wiens, 63, was charged with sexual offences against a female student in October of 2010. Wiens is a former teacher that taught at Sutherland Secondary for five years. He was charged with "sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching and sexual exploitation against a teenaged girl." It is assumed that these incidents had occurred from December 2008 to July 2009.A school district employee "saw what they thougth was inappropriate touching between Wiens and a girl," during regular after school hours. One of these incidents were first reported on February 17, 2009. Wiens was placed on leave immediately, as police began to investigate. At this time there wasn't even evidence to charge him of anything. In September of 2010 new evidence of the case was found on the sex crimes. Charges were set on October 12th, 2010. He was released on bail under the conditions that he must have no contact with the alleged victim or the victims family, as well as anyone under the age of 18. A former student from Sutherland, Alex Fisher, spoke of Wiens' predicament as shocking. "Out of all the teacher there, I would never have expected Mr.Wiens to do something like this -- if it's true". I personally had Mr.Wiens as a teacher in grade 8, and i would never have thought of seeing Mr.Wiens doing what he is accused of. It goes to show that everyone has their faults and we all do makes mistake. When people thinking of pedophiles and teachers like this, they never think that it will happen in their own school. It is odd that not many peers noticed these things, it goes to show how oblivious people can be. If they don't want to believe in anything, they choose to ignore it.
