Retired Catholic elementary school teacher, Jack Vollering, charged with sexual interference with a minor and sexual assault, was not in court for the scheduled pre-trial hearing on January 16. His lawyer, Taylor Smith, appeared in his stead, saying to the judge, "I would like to submit a designation why Jack Vollering is not in court today." Paper documents were handed to the Judge who moved the pre-trial forward to February 10, 2012.
Jack Vollering was a Catholic elementary school teacher in Grafton, Port Hope and Cobourg. Jack Vollering was well-respected in the local Catholic Community, especially the Knights of Columbus, where he rose to 'Faithful Navigator' in the Port Hope Council #6490 from 2008-2010, and last year was designated as Grand Knight. A 'Faithful Navigator' is the highest standing in the Fourth Degree Assemblies.
The local Knights of Columbus website asserts. "The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal order dedicated to the ideals of Columbianism: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. We serve our fellow Knights, families, Parish, Church, Schools, and the community"

Hi, I keep watching for updates after the Feb 10th hearing, but havent heard anything. Are there any recent updates?
thanks!
The story was in Northumberland Today -- I've forgotten the date. I had a sick day unfortunately, but will continue to follow.
JACK VOLLERING, Trial on two charges; sexual interference of a minor under the age of 14 and sexual assault. Starting June 12 & June 14/ 2012. So get the press involved, step up and ask for this covered, make this trial public knowledge.
Please continue to follow, I hope this trial gets some press coverage and is made public knowledge. Protect the victim, but dont protect the offender!!
I still havent heard anything, and as a previous student of his, as well as other connections, I am anxious to hear what has happened with the trial. I no longer live in cobourg, so am keeping a close eye on online newspapers, and am frustrated not to hear/read anything. Any updates on the trial??
There were hearings a few weeks ago. I am umable to add anything further to that. The trial is expected early 2013.
Just wondering if there has been any more activity on this trial. in the pait and wait for the past year. Seems like it is dragging on and on and therefore making the victim(s)and their families wait and wait for some closure.
Jack Vollering Verdict Postponed
Justice J. C. Corkery informed the court that he was "not prepared to give a verdict yet." on the two charges: sexual interference of a minor under the age of 14 and sexual assault. The next date of appearance will be June 6, 9:30am.
I am curious how many people will mark this date on their calendar? Will they show Solidarity by showing up? I just found out how important support is for these brave souls who stood up and said the buck stops here PERIOD.
Solidarity is unity (as of a group or class) that produces or is based on community of interests, objectives, and standards. Would it be ok if I invited you to attend the court house in Cobourg June 6th to hear first hand what Justice J.C.Corkery has to say?
