ALOR STAR: A 16-year-old schoolgirl has lodged a police report alleging that a teacher had molested her.

She claimed that the teacher had given her RM15 after he had caressed her cheek, breasts and thigh.

She said the incident occurred at about noon in a small room inside the school’s arts room on Wednesday.

She said she had earlier asked the teacher to send her elder sister, who is in Form Five, home as she was suffering from tonsillitis.

“I asked my friend to accompany us as I did not want to be alone with the teacher on our way back to school.

“When we reached the school, the teacher parked the car in a secluded area and asked my friend to go back to the classroom,” she said, adding that the teacher asked her to follow him to a room where he allegedly molested her.

She said he later gave her RM15.

“I threw the money and rushed back home,” the girl said.

Kubang Pasu OCPD Supt Mohd Karim Abu confirmed that the girl had lodged a report alleging that her teacher molested her.

“We have questioned the teacher. The teacher claimed he did not do it,” he said.
