A teacher from a top school was found to have an indecent relationship in 2011 and the teacher will finally receive his sentence soon.
The incident took place in 2011 when the teacher was 36-years-old and the student was 15-years-old. As there is a gag order to protect the victim, the names will be redacted.
According to The Straits Times, The teacher was in charge of a CCA and the victim is a student leader.
They got to know each other from CCA activities and the victim met the teacher outside of school hours for coffee and soon after inappropriate text messages were sent to each other.
In a span of a few months, they had developed a relationship and started holding hands in school when no one was around.
“I CAN DO ANYTHING NOW”
On at least one occasion, while they were alone on school grounds, the teacher grabbed her and press his own body against her at a wall saying “I can do anything now”. This lasted for over 10 seconds and the victim was confused.
The teacher would soon take advantage of her even more and touched her privates. The relationship ended a few months later.
How he was caught
After the student finished her studies, she came back a few years later to be a relief teacher. She confided the incidents to fellow teachers and the principal eventually found out and called the Police.
It is unclear why the victim would suddenly reveal her ordeal to others.
The ex-teacher is due for his sentencing in April 2022. If he is found guilty of violating the Children and Young Persons Act he can be jailed up to 2 years and fined $5,000 for each charge.
