28 years ago Sexual acts on students Disciplinary dismissal of male teacher Sapporo City Board of Education

After a civil court found that a male teacher at a junior high school in Sapporo had repeatedly sexually acted on a female student who was a student at that time from 28 years ago to the following year, the Sapporo City Board of Education conducted a new investigation. After going, I dismissed this teacher from disciplinary action.

The teacher is denying that he has done sexual activity.

The disciplinary dismissal was a 56-year-old male teacher working at a junior high school in Sapporo.

Ikuko Ishida (43), who attended the junior high school where the teacher was working, suffered damages to the teacher and the city of Sapporo for being repeatedly obscene by the teacher from 28 years ago when he was in school to after graduation. In a two-trial decision last month, the Tokyo High Court ruled that the teacher was sexually active, although he dismissed the claim for compensation.

In response to the ruling, the City Board of Education, as a result of conducting a new investigation, was dismissed from disciplinary action on the 28th, saying that the teacher had repeated obscene acts from 1993 to the following year.

The teacher told the investigation that "there was no such fact."

In addition, as a future preventive measure, the city board of education will conduct a questionnaire to students in order to understand sexual damage, etc., set up a telephone consultation desk, and listen to the opinions of third parties if the perpetrator denies it. We are considering creating a mechanism.

Masahide Hasegawa, the superintendent of education in Sapporo, said, "I would like to express my deepest apologies to the women who have had a hard time for a long time. With a strong determination to eradicate sexual damage to children, I will give guidance to all staff. We will do our utmost to restore the lost trust, "he said.

Mr. Ishida said, "I'm glad I didn't give up and complained about the damage. I think that some people like me will notice the damage after a while. The view of the world has changed so that it is natural for the damage to be recognized. I want it. "
