Oliphant is reportedly facing multiple charges.

In one report the charges are described as three counts of first-degree sexual assault and five counts of impairing the morals of a minor.

In another report the charges are described as one charge of sex assault in the first degree and five counts of risk of injury to a minor.

In both reports, Oliphant was reportedly released on $150,000 bond and has been suspended by the school. Reportedly, Oliphant was initially suspended with pay but he is now suspended without pay.

The arrest warrant for Oliphant has been sealed, preventing detailed information from being released regarding the specific allegations.

However, the alleged victim is described as not a Vernon student but someone with whom Oliphant was acquainted and the alleged assaults are said to have occurred within the past year.
