On Thursday, the police took a statement from the ten-year-old victim. Sources disclosed that the traumatised child said the incident occurred on Sunday last.
The child reportedly stated that the molestation was an all day activity. According to him, he went over to the teacher’s house around 10:00am and left at about 05:30pm.
This newspaper understands that a woman, who reportedly assisted the lad with meals occasionally, was in the house with the teacher and the victim. It is alleged that the woman fondled the ten-year-old but soon left the house, leaving the lad and the teacher behind.
According to sources, the child, in his statement to the police, said that the teacher kissed him on numerous parts of his body. Further, the child reported that the teacher sucked his chest and gave him love bites on his neck which were visible when the lad went to school the following day.
The lad, who lived alone, was observed by his teachers bearing numerous marks about the body. He later told investigators that the marks were love bite marks on his neck and chest inflicted by an amorous male teacher.
According to reports, the child’s mother left him and went into the interior some time ago to cook for porkknockers. His father cannot be located.
This newspaper understands that when the victim went to school last Monday, the day after the incident occurred, his teachers observed numerous marks on his neck and immediately alerted the relevant authorities.
According to a medical inspection, the child’s anus has not been tampered with; however, he was in some way, medically affected and had to be hospitalised.
The teacher was detained and taken into custody at the Leonora Police Station.
This newspaper understands that the teacher has been at Saraswat Primary since 1998 and was openly homosexual.
Kaieteur News understands that the child’s uncle is expected to take full custody of him. However, he remains at a governmental institution in the city.
