Bible Hill Teacher (Matthew Donahoe) charged with sexual offenses with several victims

According to CBC, there are multiple victims and he is charged with offenses relating to choking, assaults and administering substances. The RCMP claim there may be more victims.

You probably cannot count on the school system notifying the public of where he has taught in the past. This is just one of a number of teachers in this area with SA allegations in recent times.

So Reddit community: Do you have an idea as to what schools, school years and grades that he previously taught? Do you have any experiences with him that suggested red flags?

Oh god I used to work with him, not surprised.

Most recently he was doing part time sub work for elementary to middle school.

He was inappropriately friendly with a lot of underage girls.

Are you able to recount any specifics that the RCMP may want?

He was at ARHS in Amherst constantly (2023-Early 2025) never had his own classroom to my knowledge he was just an EA, worked with the special needs class, and subbed whenever. He used to teach us how to pronounce his name correctly almost every class and it was truly hilarious seeing the news reporter pronounce it wrong. Nothing I really remember him doing besides tell us a story about getting into a car accident with a friend and I watched him break up a few fights by just getting right in between students (which I always thought to be weird because of his height and weight) I strongly disliked this man during my time in school

Did he ever teach at Red Cliff?

That's a great question.

It should be government policy to notify the public of where these alleged predators worked so more potential victims can be alerted.
