Duff Friesen, a former principal of Christian Centre Academy, faces sentencing for assaulting a student two decades ago, with the Crown seeking an eight-month jail term and two years of probation. Friesen’s defense is advocating for a conditional discharge to avoid custody and a criminal record. He has been convicted of one assault count and has a second trial scheduled for September 2026, facing additional assault charges. This case is part of a broader investigation into alleged abuses at the school, where other former staff members are also facing criminal charges.
