　　中学男教师违背女学生对他的信任，在学校和住家先后非礼三名女生，昨天认罪后被判坐牢19个月及鞭打6下。
　　32岁的被告闻判后显得镇定，他的妻子则哭红了双眼。
　　为了保护受害人，法官谕令媒体不得报道任何足以泄漏她们身份的资料，包括被告的姓名。
　　被告共面对10项控状，指他于2005年8月11日到2006年3月8日之间，在组屋住家和一所中学内，非礼三名13岁至16岁的女学生。16岁女生声称被非礼了八次，15岁和13岁女生各被非礼一次。
　　控方以其中三项控状提控被告，余项交法官下判时一并考虑。

邀女生上门看NBA
借口按摩乘机非礼

　　其中一项控状案情显示，2005年12月8日，被告通过手机简讯邀受害人到他家观看他录下的NBA篮球赛。隔天上午9时，受害人上门，他却声称家里停电，不能看球赛。
　　他于是建议替受害人按摩，说他刚从互联网上学到新的按摩法，还指出按摩能使她在下午的篮球训练中表现更出色。
　　被告把受害人带进房里，要她把校服脱下，换成T恤、短裤。他原本还要她把短裤脱下，但她不肯。被告要她躺在床褥上，然后用消除肌肉酸痛的药膏开始在她的大腿和脚上按摩。不一会儿，被告突然把她的裤子脱掉，继续按摩。吃惊的受害人不敢反抗。
　　接着，被告要她到客厅的沙发、还拉她坐在他的大腿上。他说她应该报答他按摩的“好意”，接着把手放在她的胸部，然后还用手触碰她的下体。受害人把他的手推开。
　　被告并没就此罢休。他叫受害人到房里换回校服，正当她扣上纽扣时，他进房、拉开她的上衣，还把手放在她的胸部。
　　另一项控状的案情则显示，去年3月8日傍晚6时，受害人在一场篮球赛后到教室见被告。被告拉她坐在大腿上，说他对她在球赛中的表现非常失望，接着便亲吻她的脸颊。受害人感到害怕，开始哭泣，告诉被告时间不早了，她必须回家。被告跟着她走到教室门口，途中
还紧紧拥抱她，多次触摸她的胸部。受害人无法反抗。
　　被告的代表律师求情时说，被告在父母去世后，需要接受心理治疗以消解痛失双亲的压力。被告若能得到妥善的心理治疗，他有望康复，重犯的几率也不高。
　　律师还说，被告婚姻美满，育有两岁的女儿，他被革职后，和女儿的关系密切。
　　被告也在事发后开始接受教堂牧师的辅导，他还写了道歉信给受害人，并有意将5000元交给她作为赔偿，不过，查案警员还无法和受害人取得联系。

主控官：被告不仅有预谋
而且还屡次犯罪

　　主控官指出，受害女生年纪轻，没有反抗能力，被告的行为侵犯到受害人的私处。被告不仅有预谋干案，而且还屡次犯罪。
　　法官下判时说，被告是初犯，他事后立刻认罪，让受害人免去上庭供证及受审问的过程。被告的心理报告显示，他患有反应性抑郁症（reactive depression），其中两项控状也是在他母亲病逝后的两星期犯下的。
　　不过，她后来指出：“尽管我考虑了这些对你有利的求情因素，但是你对这些年轻受害人所犯下的罪行非常严重，我所判处的刑罚也必须反映这一点。”


Teacher gets jail, caning for molesting teenage students
Offender, 32, abused his position of trust, says judge
By Elena Chong, Court Correspondent

THE school teacher lured his 16-year-old student to his home on the pretext that they watch taped American basketball games together, but he ended up molesting her.
Yesterday, the 32-year-old father of one was packed off to jail for 19 months. With the teacher's wife sobbing in the background, the judge also ordered that the bespectacled man be given six strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to molesting the girl three times.
Seven other similar charges involving the victim and two other girls were considered. The teacher cannot be named in order to protect the identity of his victims.
The court heard that the teacher had invited the 16-year-old victim to his house in December 2005.
He is believed to have been working with her basketball team in school. But when she arrived, he claimed there was a 'blackout'. He then suggested that he try out a new massage technique he had read about on the Internet.
He told her to change into a T-shirt. She complied, but baulked and refused when he suggested that she remove her shorts.
The student lay face down while he applied an analgesic cream - meant to relieve pain - and started massaging her legs and thighs.
Suddenly, he pulled down her shorts and continued to massage her. The student reported that she was too afraid to protest.
After the massage, both of them headed for the sofa where he pulled her onto his lap and molested her by touching her breast and crotch.
Later when she tried changing back into her school uniform, he pulled down her blouse and touched her breast again.
A few months later, in March last year, the court heard that the teacher met the victim in a classroom after her basketball game and complained about her performance.
He then pulled her onto his lap, kissed her several times, making her cry. While leading her to the door, he hugged her and touched her right breast a few times.
Yesterday, the teacher's lawyer pleaded for a minimum sentence. She told the court he had been depressed and had to have treatment to deal with stress and the deaths of his parents. His mother died some two weeks before he molested the victim on Dec 9, 2005.
She also pointed out that he had written a letter of apology and made out a $5,000 cheque to the victim. But Assistant Public Prosecutor Eugene Kwang pressed for a deterrent sentence, saying this was a clear case of abuse of trust.
District Judge Wong Choon Ning agreed. She lambasted him for abusing his position of trust and said these were 'very serious crimes' against 'very young victims'.
Each charge carries a maximum jail term of up to two years or a fine or caning, or any two such punishments.
