KUALA LUMPUR: Police have taken a statement from a female teacher, as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male student.
Sepang police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the 37-year-old teacher gave her statement at the Sepang police headquarters yesterday.
"Only a statement was taken down, the suspect in this case has not been arrested.
"Several other individuals have also given their statements, including the complainant and witnesses who are privy to the case," he said in a brief text message.
He said investigations are ongoing before the papers will be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's office for further instructions.
"Police urge the public to refrain from spreading unfounded rumours or misinformation regarding this case," he said.
He said the victim had been referred to a government hospital for further examination.
Wan Kamarul Azran said police initiated their investigation following a report received on Dec 12 last year, alleging that a 37-year-old suspect had molested the victim while engaged in school revisions at the library. – Bernama
