A school teacher, who has been accused of sexually harassing 11
underage school girls, has landed in hospital after crashing his car, reported
LBC television on Saturday.
The teacher, identified with the initials B.S., is being kept
under heavy judicial and security protection in a Jounieh hospital.
LBC had reported on Friday that 11 girls, aged between six and
eight, were sexually harassed by the 22-year-old teacher at a Catholic school
in Mount Lebanon.
The discovery was made when one of the girls informed her parents
of her teacher’s actions.
The six-year-old told her father that the teacher had instructed
her “to lift her skirt before pressing himself up against her.”
She added that he then went to a “bathroom with one of the girls
and forced her to take off her clothes after which she cried when she noticed
blood on her underwear.”
The sexual molestation ranged from rape to photographing the girls
naked.
The school administration forced the teacher to resign as it
awaited the results of the investigation.
Meanwhile, the parents of four of the girls have filed a lawsuit
against the teacher.
The school has started therapy for the victims and they will also
be seen by a doctor.
Soon after news of his actions broke out, the teacher deleted all
of his social media accounts.
He soon resurfaced after the accident, which some information said
could have been a filed suicide attempt.
Minister of Social Affairs and head of the Higher Council of
Childhood Wael Abu Faour has also filed a lawsuit against the teacher.
“A heated meeting between the school administration and parents
committee recently took place with the latter attempting to cover up the case
to avoid a scandal,” added LBC.
