A serious complaint was called to be investigated by the police officers of the Security Department of Western Achaia, after the parents of a minor student filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment against a teacher of a Secondary Education unit.

According to exclusive information from “Peloponnisos”, a 65-year-old high school principal in the region of Western Achaia was arrested, against whom a case was filed for sexual indecency.

The incident, according to what the 14-year-old claims, happened inside a school room – last week – when the high school teacher approached her during the delivery of the lesson, and she was surprised when he stroked her hair and neck. The minor student, upon returning home, informed her parents and they in turn went to the West Achaia Security Department, where they reported the incident, requesting criminal prosecution of the teacher, filing a lawsuit.

The 65-year-old man from Patras, after the case file was formed, was searched by the policemen in the context of the traffic jam, arrested and taken to the detention center.

The teacher denied the accusation claiming that it was a misunderstanding. He reportedly told officers that his touch was misinterpreted by the student. The 65-year-old was taken to the public prosecutor of Patras and after a regular trial was set, he was released.
