A teacher at a public junior high school in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of molesting a student and then committed suicide.The student who was victimized was subsequently slandered by his classmates and others, and has requested damages from the ward. I have filed a lawsuit asking for this.
On the 26th, the suit was filed in the Tokyo District Court by a high school boy living in Nerima Ward and his mother, and the parents held a press conference in Tokyo.
According to the complaint, when the student was attending a municipal junior high school, she was sexually assaulted by a male teacher who was her homeroom teacher, including touching her crotch.
After reporting the damage, the teacher and principal apologized, but they did not change the teacher or report the incident to the police.
The student and his mother called the police and the teacher was arrested, but the teacher committed suicide after being released, and the student was bombarded with online comments such as ``It's a lie'' and ``You're the reason the teacher committed suicide.'' It is said that he received insults such as "It's my fault."
The student and his mother are seeking 3.3 million yen in damages from Nerima Ward, claiming that the school had a duty to report the matter to the police, but did not do so, and did not respond appropriately to the slander against the student. I'm looking for it.
His mother said, ``If the school had correctly conveyed the truth to students and parents, he would not have been slandered so much. Even though my son was in pain, the school did not take his side.''I feel the same way. "I don't want any students to do that," he said.
