Kampong Chhnang provincial military police officials are investigating the case of a secondary-school teacher accused of sexually harassing his female students.

According to Chuon Choeun, provincial military police commander, the parents of four female students, aged 13 to 14, filed a complaint to him against a 35-year-old teacher for touching the girls’ breasts and hugging them inappropriately.

“I called the teacher to question him about the accusation, but he denied that it was true,” he said.

Choeun added that he cannot detain the teacher due to a lack of evidence, but he will continue to investigate.

The students’ parents also went to the provincial education department on Monday to demand that the teacher be fired from his job.

Department director Pich Sambo, said yesterday that he had informed the Education Ministry of the case and was awaiting a decision on whether the teacher would be fired.

3 years later, and it looks like the teacher has paid a "fine" to the appropriate people and moved onwards and upwards, while the children have suffered because they were too embarrassed to go back to school. The girls were minors, and even more seriously, the teacher used his position of authority to blackmail his pupils. Well, the kids are learning first-hand how the justice system works. I guess that is an education of sorts.

The families of four children who claim they were sexually harassed by their teacher at a Kampong Chhnang school lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Education yesterday, saying that three years later, no appropriate action had been taken.

In 2013, Khiev Khuy said his then-14-year-old niece and three other students had faced months of harassment and abuse at the hands of their teacher, then 35, who allegedly threatened the teens and told them they would fail if they confided to their parents about his actions.

While the teacher was suspended, the investigation stagnated and the teacher was shuffled into an administrative role at the Rolea Ba’ier district department of education.

Khuy yesterday claimed the appointment amounted to a promotion and said he was seeking justice and compensation for the victims, adding the suspect had escaped punishment while the children continued to suffer.

“Three children among the four, my niece was one among them, stopped going to school because they were so embarrassed, and that is so sad,” he said. “I am not sure what their future looks like if they do not attend school now.”

Khuy said that the complaint urged the ministry to take stronger action against the teacher and to expedite the court process... http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/s ... ng-chhnang
