A school teacher, who has been accused of sexually harassing 11 underage school girls, has landed in hospital after crashing his car, reported LBC television on Saturday.
The teacher, identified with the initials B.S., is being kept under heavy judicial and security protection in a Jounieh hospital.
LBC had reported on Friday that 11 girls, aged between six and eight, were sexually harassed by the 22-year-old teacher at a Catholic school in Mount Lebanon.
The discovery was made when one of the girls informed her parents of her teacher’s actions.
The six-year-old told her father that the teacher had instructed her “to lift her skirt before pressing himself up against her.”
She added that he then went to a “bathroom with one of the girls and forced her to take off her clothes after which she cried when she noticed blood on her underwear.”
The sexual molestation ranged from rape to photographing the girls naked.
The school administration forced the teacher to resign as it awaited the results of the investigation.
Meanwhile, the parents of four of the girls have filed a lawsuit against the teacher.
The school has started therapy for the victims and they will also be seen by a doctor.
Soon after news of his actions broke out, the teacher deleted all of his social media accounts.
He soon resurfaced after the accident, which some information said could have been a failed suicide attempt.
Minister of Social Affairs and head of the Higher Council of Childhood Wael Abu Faour has also filed a lawsuit against the teacher.
“A heated meeting between the school administration and parents committee recently took place with the latter attempting to cover up the case to avoid a scandal,” added LBC.
