TORONTO - An 88-year-old Toronto man faces charges in a sex assault alleged to have occurred 57 years ago.

Police say the alleged assault happened in the fall of 1953, when the accused worked as a school teacher at St. Michael's College.

Police say a teacher coaching an after school basketball program asked a 15-year-old student to come into a private room at the school.

Once in the private room, police say the boy was assaulted.

William Hodgson Marshall was charged Wednesday with two accounts of indecent assault.
