St. Michael's College School, a prestigious private Catholic institution, run by the Basilian Fathers of Toronto, drew international media attention in the second and third week of November when four videos -- one after the other -- appeared showing cases of student-to-student abuse and sexual abuse. This generated an outcry for in-depth and impartial investigation and appropriate punishment of the students involved in abusing fellow students. 

So far, six boys have been arrested and charged by police. Among the arrestees are two boys aged 14 and four boys aged 15 years. 

The school principal Greg Reeves and president Father Jefferson Thompson, C.S.B., resigned on November 22 to allow an independent investigation into the offenses.
