The teacher committed unlawful sexual conduct, according to the police statement, which took place when the girls were in school three years ago.At approximately 19:00 pm on Monday, police detained the suspect.According to a N12 report, the teacher allegedly had a close relationship with the girls, who considered it a romantic bond. "I was 16 and he would give me rides in his car," H, one of the students who filed a complaint, told N12. "A few days later, he told me he loves me.""I needed someone to care about me, and he took advantage of that and it progressed to sex. At first I resisted, but at some point, I could no longer say no."Attorney Roni Aloni-Sadovnik, who specializes in cases of sexual misconduct, represents H. "This is a serious crime of psychological damage in an extreme case of sexual conduct by a person in position of authority," she told N12. "Teachers who have sexual relations with their students cause them phycological harm for the rest of their lives."The police investigation is ongoing. The suspect will be brought to trial tomorrow in Acre to discuss the extension of his arrest.
