A special school teacher has been under investigation for complaints by 37 colleagues regarding his repeated threat to the principal and other teachers, beating students and sexual harassment.

They filed the petition with the Office of Education of Gyeonggi Province.

“The teacher, formally employed under a temporary contrant in 2009, has defied orders from the principal, sexually harassing female teachers, terrorizing fellow teachers and committing violence against the disabled students ever since,” the petition said.

The immoral acts did not stop there. He managed to carry a 20cm-long knife, threatening to kill the headmaster and teachers.

“What they said was found true during the investigation. he is highly likely to face stiff punishment,” said an official of the education office.
