A group of four male teachers at a high school in Gyeonggi Province will face punishment for sexually harassing three female college students who have been interning at the school for supervised teaching program, Kyunghyang Daily reported Saturday.
According to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, the four teachers invited the college students to an evening drinking outing on April 6. Later that night, they also suggested them to go to a singing room, which the college students rejected.
Then, the teachers told the college students that they wouldn't get good grades on their on-the-job-training unless they'd join. At the singing room, the teachers sexually harassed the students that included touching their hips and hugging.
Three days after the incident, the students handed in a letter, detailing the incident and asking the male teachers to be punished.
An official with the provincial educational office said, "Most of the allegations proved to be true. The teachers involved will face stern punishment."
