Principal held after female students molested

THE principal of a kindergarten has been detained for molesting female students in Shaanxi Province, Xi'an Evening News reported today.

The principal, surnamed Ma, 60, molested a five-year-old girl when visiting her home at the end of last month, the newspaper said.

Ma, principal of Yuying Kindergarten in Yuchu Village of Gaoling County, visited the victim on January 24. The victim's grandmother led him to the girl's room and left them alone as she assumed it was a regular visit. But later she was shocked when she checked on them and found the man exposing his genitals to the young girl.

She shouted, which frightened Ma away. The girl's parents reported the case to the police that night.

"I felt a little strange when I saw him hugging the girl," the grandmother told the newspaper. "How could anyone know he would do that later?"

But Ma had already fled and police didn't capture him until Tuesday.

Four other parents told police their children had been harassed by Ma, the report said.

The kindergarten was run privately by a family and first opened two decades ago.

Education authorities have since set up another kindergarten in the village, the report said.
