Verifying information about 'teacher molesting and harassing female students'

Ho Chi Minh City Nguyen Binh Khiem Secondary School requested a teacher to report after being accused of sexually harassing and molesting female students.

Mr. Pham Tan Phuoc, Principal of Nguyen Binh Khiem Secondary School, Nha Be District, said at noon on June 9 that this incident originated from a parent's complaint yesterday afternoon.

"The school has reported to the Departmentof Education and the District People's Committee to verify and take appropriate measures," said Mr. Phuoc.

Previously, a woman said her 8th grade niece was scared and worried because her school's math teacher had molested and sexually harassed her many times.

According to her, yesterday afternoon, her niece called for help, saying that a female student in her class had been touched in her private parts by this teacher. She said that she and her friends had been touched on their thighs, breasts, and pressed against each other by the teacher. They did not dare tell their parents because the teacher threatened to "bully" them.

"The girl said the teacher promised to buy her the things she wanted, even asked if she wanted underwear so he could buy it for her," she said, adding that yesterday afternoon the girl's mother went to school to meet the teacher and the principal. However, the teacher said he did not molest her, he just bent down to pick up something and accidentally touched the student's thigh.

Mr. Ho Tan Minh, Chief of Office of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said he had asked the Nha Be Department of Education to verify, handle and report to the Department.

Since the beginning of the year, several cases of harassment and abuse in schools have received public attention. In February, a 52-year-old teacher in Nghe An was arrested after parents accused him of molesting female students. In Dong Thap , police concluded that a teacher had repeatedly forced five male students to have sex.
