A teacher at a girls’ high school in Seoul accused of sexually harassing one of his homeroom students, resigned after the school launched an investigation following strong protests by a group of students.

According to the school, a 29-year-old teacher of ethics with the family name Song at a girls’ high school in Jongno, central Seoul, called in a 16-year-old student to the teachers’ room around the end of August and forced her to touch his body.

Furthermore, he has also sent obscene text messages to another student, saying, “Let’s go to a motel” and “Come to my home as my wife is out.” The teacher is also alleged to have sent pictures of his lower body to the student’s e-mail recently.
A group of students who found out about this ugly behavior strongly protested, but Song denied any unethical behavior, according to the school.

Last Friday, the school organized an in-house fact-finding team to investigate the case, while relieving him of his post as homeroom teacher.

“The investigation team confirmed Song had sent such text messages and pictures to the student. This is a sensitive matter, and a teacher like Song should be fired,” the school principal said Monday.

The school which decided to dismiss him accepted the resignation he had submitted on the same day. The female student unfortunately dropped out of school.



여고 윤리교사가 자기반 학생에게 "모텔 가자"

서울 시내 한 여고 담임교사가 학생을 성추행했다가 학생들의 집단 항의로 학교가 조사에 나서자 사직한 것으로 뒤늦게 드러났다.

26일 해당 학교 등에 따르면 서울 종로구 A여고에서 1학년 담임을 맡고 있던 윤리교사 송모(29)씨는 지난 8월 말 "상담을 하겠다"며 자신이 맡은 반 학생 B(16)양을 교무실로 불러 강제로 자신의 몸을 만지게 했다.

송씨는 또 최근까지 B양에게 '밤에 모텔로 가자' '와이프가 집을 비웠으니 우리 집으로 와라' 등과 같은 음란성 문자메시지와 자신의 하반신을 찍은 사진 여러 장을 수차례 보낸 것으로 알려졌다.

송씨가 B양에게 이런 문자와 사진을 보낸 사실을 최근 알게 된 학생들이 집단으로 항의했으나 송씨는 성추행 사실을 부인한 것으로 전해졌다.

학교 측은 지난 22일 자체 조사위원회를 구성하고 송씨가 학교에 나오지 못하게 조치하고 담임 교사를 교체했으며 25일 송씨를 직위해제했다.

송씨는 25일 학교에 사표를 제출했으며, 학교 측은 이날 중 사표를 수리하기로 했다. 피해자 B양은 학교를 자퇴했다.

이 학교 교장은 "조사위원회를 꾸려 사실 관계를 확인한 결과 송씨가 학생에게 문자 등을 보낸 사실을 확인했다. 교사와 학생 사이의 일인데 교사가 조금이라도 잘못한 부분이 있으면 우리 학교에 부적격 교사라고 생각한다"며 "오늘 본인이 제출한 사표를 수리할 예정"이라고 말했다.
