Head Teacher charged with indecently assaulting 6 students

A 42-year-old head teacher of a Primary School who is charged with allegedly indecently assaulting six students, will be produced in the Nausori Magistrates Court later today.

The matter was reported at the Vunidawa Police Station last week by the school’s Assistant Head Teacher after noticing the suspicious activities of the accused.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro says the victims are aged between 14 and 12 years and it is alleged the 42-year-old accused had committed the offence sometime between the beginning of the school term until the matter was reported last week.

Officers from Vunidawa and a team from the Eastern Division Sexual Offences Unit carried out the investigation.

The head teacher has been charged with one count of sexual assault, 3 counts of indecently annoying and two counts of annoying any person.
