The RCMP is looking into an alleged sexual assault involving teens at a Vancouver-area Catholic school.

The investigation was first reported by CKNW on Thursday and involves an unknown number of students from one school. It is believed the alleged incident was possibly captured and shared via social media.

Dan Moric is the superintendent with the Catholic Independent Schools Vancouver Archdiocese. In an email to Postmedia on Friday, he confirmed the investigation was taking place and that it was prompted by a report “made directly to police.”

“I believe concerned parent(s) may have also let the school know, but not sure about timing of that,” Moric wrote. He also couldn’t confirm if or how social media was involved.
