Teacher held for indecent assault

The boys had slept over at the teacher's house at various times since February. While there, the teacher made sexual advances.

A teacher from a school in Melmoth will appear in court today for indecently assaulting five pupils, KwaZulu-Natal police said.

"The boys were individually approached by their teacher, who invited them to his place of residence to sleep over," Captain Thulani Zwane said in a statement.

Zwane said the boys had slept over at the teacher's house at various times since February. While there, the teacher made sexual advances.

The teacher was arrested when one of the boys reported the matter to his headmaster this week.

"We intend to oppose the granting of bail to the suspect and encourage any victim of this alleged unacceptable conduct by the educator to come forward," said Zwane.
