A student at Saint Mary’s University (SMU), pleaded guilty Sept. 10 to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl, according to the CBC.
The incident occurred in October 2012, when Konstanty ‘Kostek’ Bedoa-Gorski, a 24-year-old psychology student at SMU, was coaching the girl’s soccer team, according to The Chronicle Herald.
Bedoa-Gorski’s sentencing has been delayed until December 2013 so he can finish his semester at SMU.
But university spokesperson Steve Proctor told the Chronicle Herald that Bedoa-Gorski has been suspended until the university completes a disciplinary hearing.
The date for the hearing is yet to be determined.
The plea comes just a week after a frosh week chant at SMU sparked outrage among students, parents, and faculty members for promoting non-consensual, underage sex.
The chant, seen in an Instagram video being sung by many frosh leaders and first-year students, spelled out the word “young.”
“Y is for your sister . . . U is for underage . . . N is for no consent,” students cheered in the video.
The school’s student union president Jared Perry and vice-president (student life) Carrigan Desjardins resigned after the video went viral.
