CEBU, Philippines - For allegedly molesting his student, a private university teacher is facing charges before the
Cebu Provincial Prosecutors Office.

The complaint filed by a 17-year-old student states that his male teacher sexually abused him against his will.

He said he tried to resist when his teacher forced him to do indecent and lascivious acts normally done by couples,
but the teacher was much stronger and bigger than he.

He also gave in for fear that if I would not submit to his lewd desires he might fail me in the subjects he was handling
and might cause me to be kicked out, , the affidavit reads.

The student said he cried and begged the respondent to stop but the latter did not listen.

The Freeman is withholding the names of the complainant, the respondent and the school pending their comments.

The complainant was one of the students of a school set up by a nongovernment organization for underprivileged
young people. He was enrolled for a 3-year training for System and Network or Software Development and Dual
Training System in accordance with the agreement entered into by the organization and the school.

In his complaint, he said the respondent was his teacher for System and Network Administration, System Securities
and Operating Systems.

He noticed that the respondent was very close to his students especially the male students.

I never thought that his effort of being close to us was his way of advancing his lewd designs, the affidavit reads.

During their Christmas break in 2011, he said respondent called him through the mobile phone and asked if he was
free to go to a mall. In there, he said, the respondent brought him a pair of jeans and a shirt. Then he was taken by
the respondent to his boarding house in Labangon, Cebu City.

That when I saw his desktop computer inside his room, I asked permission from him to use the same, to which he
acceded. That while I was using his computer, respondent approached me and to my surprise, begged me while his
right hand was slowly sliding towards my private partand wanted to remove my short pants, he narrated.

He said respondent succeeded his sexual desire despite his objections. After that incident, he said he was told by the
latter not to tell his other classmates.

Before he left, he said he was brought by the respondent to a fast food chain and was given P200 to buy load.

The complainant said he thought that incident wont happen again but he was wrong after he was invited by the
respondent to visit his classmate in Dalaguete, Cebu.

That I was very hesitant and afraid to go with respondent, but due to my great fear that I might fail in the subjects he
was handling if I would refuse to go with him, I agreed to go with him in Dalaguete with the hope that he will not
anymore sexually abuse me, he said.

He heard reports that there was a former student who was kicked out after he failed in the subjects handled by the
respondent. The former student reportedly refused to accept the advances of the respondent.
The complainant said because of the revelation made by the former student to one of the educators about his
horrifying experience with the respondent, he gained courage to reveal his

experience too and refused to the invitation of respondent sometime in January 2013.

His other classmates also revealed their experiences in the hands of the respondent.

To support his case, the general manager of the group executed an affidavit against the respondent for a violation of
Section 5(b) and 10(a) of Republic Act 7610 or child abuse, Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code or acts of
lasciviousness and RA 7877 or the anti-sexual harassment act. (FREEMAN)
