◀ Report ▶
An elementary school in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Yesterday evening, a man in his 30s who was a teacher at this school was arrested by the police.
He is accused of repeatedly committing sexual harassment, including touching the bodies of female students in his homeroom class.
It is said that the incident continued in classrooms from last March, when the new semester began, until recently, but neither the school nor the victims’ parents knew anything about it.
A male classmate who witnessed the molestation reported it to the school yesterday, and the vice-principal, who heard the statements of the female victims, reported it to the police.
A total of 8 victims have been reported so far.
It appears that most of the 10 female students in one class were victims.

″The kids were so scared that they thought they were the only ones suffering and couldn’t talk anymore because they were so scared…″
The teacher reportedly admitted to most of the charges during the police investigation.
It was confirmed that this teacher was also in charge of the upper grades last year when he was assigned to this school.
Therefore, the police are investigating whether the crime started before.

″The billions have collapsed. I couldn’t believe that something like this happened at a school I trusted…”
The police will request an analysis of digital evidence on the cell phone to determine the specific circumstances of the perpetrator’s crime, and will soon apply for an arrest warrant.
