University teacher accused of molesting 16 scholars


Friday, May 3, 2013
A TEACHER from a private university in Cebu City is facing a string of criminal charges before the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office for allegedly sexually abusing 16 underaged scholars of a non-profit organization since 2011.
An official of the organization charged the information technology teacher with violation of the Anti-Child Abuse Law, the Revised Penal Code and the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995.
(Sun. Star Cebu is withholding the teacher’s name until he formally answers the charges. The children’s identities are also withheld pursuant to RA 7610).
Helene Huard, general manager of the non-profit group Passerelles Numeriques, filed the complainants in behalf of their minor scholars.
The organization entered into an agreement with the university for a three-year training for system and network development and dual training system.
In her affidavit, Huard said that one of their educators told her about sexual abuses allegedly committed by the IT training program teacher against their scholars.
One scholar alleged that the teacher asked to have *** with him in exchange for a passing grade.
When he refused, the teacher failed him in his class, prompting the organization to remove him from its scholarship program.
Huard said she noticed the “closeness” of the teacher to his male students, and his
effort to spend more time with his students “during and after class.”
The teacher also helped his students both in their academic and personal problems.
“We never thought that his effort of being close to his students was his way of advancing his lewd designs towards his students,” said Huard.
A psychological assessment made on the students showed they experienced “post traumatic stress disorder and adjustment disorder and chronic anxiety.”
Huard said their responsibility is to protect the students from all forms of abuse and cruelty since their parents entrusted them to the organization.
“The psychological and sexual abuses, molestation, harassment, and lasciviousness conduct committed (by the respondent) impaired the growth of those students and prejudiced their development as a person,” the complaint read.
One of the 16 minor scholars executed an affidavit detailing his “horrible sexual abuse experience” in the hands of his teacher.
In December 2011, he said his teacher called him on the phone and invited him to go to a mall to shop.
The teacher bought him a pair of jeans and shirt.
After shopping, they went to the teacher’s rented room in Barangay Labangon, Cebu City.
While inside the room, the student asked his teacher if he could use his desktop, and the latter agreed. The teacher then started to perform lewd acts on him.
He resisted, but the teacher threatened to fail him in his class.
The teacher eventually succeeded in carrying out his sexual intentions.
“I’m in love with you,” the student quoted his teacher as telling him while he performed lewd acts.
“Don’t do it, sir, as I have respect for you. Why me, sir?” the student pleaded, but his plea fell on deaf ears.
After the sexual acts were committed, the teacher warned him not to tell anyone, or he would get a failing grade.
The sexual abuses continued until last year, even during Holy Week.
On April 5, 2012, the victim said they went to the house of their classmate’s grandparents in Dalaguete, Cebu.At dawn of April 6, while the rest of his classmates were sleeping, the teacher sexually abused him again.
“In all these instances that (respondent) sexually abused me, I never told my classmates, or even my family out of shame and for great fear that I might fail in the subjects,” he said.
The student had the courage to reveal his ordeal only after a former fellow student reported to the organization’s officials the alleged sexual abuses of the respondent.
