Social Affairs Minister
Wael Abu Faour met with Collège Saint Joseph Director Father Antoine Nakad to
discuss the issue of the teacher who allegedly sexually abused a number of his
female students in the Mount Lebanon Catholic School, the National News Agency
reported on Tuesday.
“[I] was informed of the
measures taken by the school. The school had fired the [teacher] before the
media brought up the issue. It also fired anyone whom it suspected of
unintentionally or intentionally covering up [for the teacher’s acts],” Abu
Faour said following the meeting.
The minister also voiced
hope that in the coming weeks “measures will be implemented in all schools so
such incidents do not reoccur.”
He also called for not
jumping to conclusions on whether rape had been committed or not, adding that
the abused students will undergo social and psychological therapy.
The NNA added that Antoine
Chidiac, the head of the parents committee at the school, and the school’s
lawyer attended the meeting.
