Teacher abused 7 pupils

A PRIMARY school teacher in east China’s Jiangxi Province was sentenced to 14 years in prison on Friday for sexually abusing seven of his female pupils, local authorities said yesterday.

Tao Biaogong, a teacher at the Shangyuan Primary School in Fanzhen Township in the city of Ruichang, abused seven second-grade girls in class on many occasions from September 2012 to May this year, said a local court.

Tao’s sexual abuse led to six of the girls becoming infected with sexually transmitted diseases, said the court.

He was detained on July 5 after the girls’ parents went to the police.

Tao got harsh punishment as his deeds seriously had hurt the physical and mental health of the young girls, said the court.

Sources with the Supreme People’s Court said in May that courts would crack down on crimes against juveniles, show minimal tolerance toward such offenders and offer the greatest level of protection to children.
