The teacher, who was accused of inappropriately touching a student from the Ardene High school, has made contact with the police.

Inspector Dahlia Garrick of the Constabulary Communications Unit says that the man and his lawyer will report to the police next week for questioning.

Meanwhile, a small group of people gathered outside the gates of Ardene High School in Kingston this morning (Mar 24), protesting against the alleged action of the teacher.

The protestors gathered at the school gate from about 7:00 a.m. with placards which read, ‘teach not breach’, ‘save our children, protect them’

They explained that they are protesting in an effort to break the silence on these types of activities.

One protestor said every child should be given the opportunity to have a good childhood.

Another protestor who said she is a friend of the alleged victim stated that she wants justice.

It is understood that neither the teacher nor the child was at school today.

Efforts by Irie FM News to speak with school officials were unsuccessful.
