Teacher detained, suspected of molesting student

A discipline teacher was arrested for allegedly molesting a 13-year-old.

KUALA LUMPUR:  A discipline teacher at a primary school here was detained last Saturday for allegedly molesting his former student.

Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department deputy head (Operations and Intelligence) ACP Khairy Ahrasa said the 35-year-old teacher was detained at his house in Bandar Baru Sentul following a report lodged by the student, aged 13, at the Sentul police station last Friday.

The student claimed that the teacher, who has two children, had molested him since last year and for the first time last Friday, forced the boy to do oral sex on him, he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters here today.

According to Khairy, the student claimed that the incident happened in one of the rooms at the primary school after the teacher called him to the school to help him with some work.

The boy refused to do as told by the teacher and ran off to the Sentul police station to lodge a report, he added.

Khairy said the teacher would be in remand for seven days to assist police investigation.
