A judge has reserved her sentencing decision for a former director of a Saskatoon private Christian school convicted of nine counts of assault with a weapon.

John Olubobokun was found guilty in July of using a wooden paddle to hit students when he was the director at Christian Centre Academy for four years starting in 2003.

The school was later renamed Legacy Christian Academy, then Valour Academy.

The Crown asked for two years of jail followed by three years of probation with terms including that Olubobokun wouldn't be allowed to supervise anyone under the age of 15.

The defence is seeking a conditional discharge with 18 months of probation, which would mean that if Olubobokun followed the terms of the probation successfully, the convictions would not be registered.
