Pupil molested during class hours

TABUK CITY, KALINGA – A grade three pupil in one of the public schools in the city was sexually molested during class hours morning of February 11 by a grown up man who pretended he was looking for the house of a relative.

Maria (not her real name) informed the police later that while playing on the school campus at around 9:30 AM during recess, a man approached him asking her to help him find the house of a relative among the houses near the school.

After they stepped out of the campus, the man then forced her to go with him to a hut in the rice fields behind the school where she molested her.

According to the girl, the man forced her to lie down, pulled down her underwear and inserted his middle finger into her private part and also forced his penis into her mouth.

She said that she could not shout for help because the man had threatened to strangle her to death if she does not keep silent.

After molesting her, the man let the girl go back to school warning her “Dimo ibagbaga ti sabali. No ibagam, patayenka no makita ka.” (Don’t tell anyone. If you do, I will kill you when I see you.)

The girl told her ordeal to her teacher who brought her to the barangay captain. The barangay captain brought the girl to the city clinic for medico legal examination and later to the police.

Police said that upon investigation, they found out that the people who saw the girl and the man pass by thought they were father and daughter and had no inkling a crime was being committed. **By Estanislao Albano Jr., ZZW
