CHAI NAT: Police are looking to arrest a 40-year-old primary school teacher alleged to have sexually molested several pupils over the past six months.

Pol Capt Chalongchai Bangjan of the Muang district station said on Saturday that officers had skipped the summoning procedure and sought an arrest warrant because the offence was serious.

He was commenting after parents brought 10 girls to the station on Friday to complain about incidents that had been taking place at the school for about six months.

Withholding the name of the school and the teacher, Pol Capt Chalongchai said the man had asked individual grade-six pupils to give him massages in a room at the school and then touched their breasts and genitals.

The director of the school, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he had proposed the suspension of the teacher to the local administrative organisation pending the outcome of the case.
