TEACHER SEX WITH STUDENTS

Over many years, we read of teachers having sex with students. It is the lowest form of immorality of a teacher destroying the trust of a female student and all the other students aware of what had happened.

There was a teacher accused of sex with an underage female student several months ago. He was killed by the villagers.

In the media this week, we read of students being given higher marks in their exams by having sex with teachers. This is a dangerous practice not only unethical.

What if the student decides to blackmail the teacher by threatening to tell her parents that her teacher had sex with an underage girl? 

She wanted K50 a week to be silent. What a fool for a teacher to be trapped by an underage girl. She could report him in 10 years time and he would still be arrested.

In the front page of The National today we read of an underage female student raped by her teacher in the classroom after school.

The father refused to accept compensation but contacted the Department of Education and police. This teacher will end up in prison if found guilty in Court.

We also see the same practice in universities. The situation is slightly different as students are over the age of consent and living away from home.

There have been reports of male lecturers finding gay lovers among students and setting them up in rental accommodation.

The lecturer may be married but either sends his wife back to the village or shares time between wife and gay lover in separate houses.

Reports have come from the University of Goroka, PNG Medical School and Divine Word University.

At Divine Word University a number of years ago, a lecturer lived in school accommodation with a gay student serving also as a journalist at The National. He is now dead. He sent his wife back to her village to live with his lover.

He had objected to the Positive Living column in The National. A senior gay was on the University Council.

The lecturer compromised credibility with other students who may have felt that the student lover earned high marks for time spent in bed.

High marks would be seen as a gift from his gay lecturer lover. The student could pass without studying.  The same occurred at the PNG Medical School.

A lesbian lecturer set up a curriculum in Counselling at Callan Institute designed to identify and groom female students into a lesbian lifestyle. Let us hope the course was never implemented.

In times past, expatriate paedophile teachers working for the IEA used to seek sex with students. 

One teacher had student girl friends and used to take pornographic photos. When a warrant went out for his arrest he escaped to Australia. Police advised he was beyond reach in North Queensland.
