File on teacher/student sex case with DPP

CRIME CHIEF Leslie James confirmed on Tuesday that the police are continuing their investigations into the rape allegations levelled against a teacher of a private school which has since closed its doors.Approached for a comment, James told the Guyana Chronicle that the matter is still engaging the attention of the police and the Child Care and Protection Agency, and the file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.

The police have, since early March, been investigating the issue after the 14-year-old female student confessed that she had had sex with her teacher in exchange for extra lessons.

A citizen of the United Kingdom, the girl had told this newspaper, in the presence of her guardian during an interview, what had transpired between herself and the teacher. Among other things, she related that she had had two sexual encounters with the teacher in which he had penetrated her without using a condom, and that he had ejaculated in her before administering contraceptives pills to her after the encounters, which also included oral sex.

The teacher, son of a very popular East Coast Demerara pastor, has since denied the allegation. In an earlier interview, the teacher told the Chronicle that he knows exactly why the young student was crying rape, but he refused to divulge information, stating that he would speak only when the time is right.

After the matter was reported to the headteacher of the school, the teacher in question was handed over to the police, and investigations had commenced.

The teacher has since refused to comment further on the matter, relating that he was advised by the police and his lawyers to discuss the issue with nobody.

Meanwhile, as a result of that sex scandal, parents began taking their children out of the private school until only sixteen students had remained out of an enrollment of close to one hundred; thus forcing the administrators to close down the school.

When news of the school’s closure became public, the director of the school, who is also fingered in the attempted execution of her husband, denied that it was the sex scandal which caused its closure. She told the Guyana Chronicle that, because of the issue between herself and husband, and the reports in the press on the matter, students began asking their parents to take them out of the school.

After announcing the school’s closure to the children, contact was made with the Ministry of Education, and arrangements were made to have the students writing the Caribbean Secondary Examinations Certificate receive their timetables for the May/June 2014 examinations, thereby enabling them to sit those exams.
