Disgusting messages from teacher to student! ‘He tried to kiss me when he dropped me off at my house, and harassed me with hand gestures at school.’

SD, a 9th grade student studying at a high school in the city, told his family on April 18 that his teacher MK had been sending him messages via ‘WhatsApp’ and social media since January, and that the messages had been of a sexual nature, especially for the last month, while he was driving home before. She claimed that he tried to kiss her and finally groped her on the stairs at school. Thereupon, his family filed a criminal complaint against teacher MK to the prosecutor’s office.

“Should we REMOVE THE WORD TEACHER?”

In SD’s statement taken within the scope of the investigation, “Our teacher MK took my mobile phone number to help me when I said that I wanted to take private lessons from a teacher. Then, the teacher started writing me messages about 3 months ago. He asked me ‘What are you doing princess, are you studying?’ He wrote things like. I did not hear the teacher writing messages to other students. He told me I was special. A month ago, MK teacher asked me, ‘Should we remove the word teacher?’ said. I said we had a teacher-student relationship; But he was writing to me that he wanted to be a lover. I wrote to him that he was married and such a thing would not happen. “He also wrote that this could not be prevented,” he said.

ALLEGED HE BUYS GIFTS AND GIVES MONEY

SD said that her teacher MK, without her knowledge, put a thousand TL in her pen holder on the desk and a jewelry set box containing a silver necklace, earrings and a ring in her jacket pocket, and returned both gifts after realizing the situation. Stating that her teacher MK got angry and reacted when he saw her around male students, SD claimed that MK had previously tried to kiss her while driving her home, and lastly, while she was chatting with her friend on the stairs at school, he touched her with his hand while passing her.

Sexual messages sent by MK to SD’s ‘WhatsApp’ social media account were also presented as evidence to the prosecutor’s office.

HER FATHER WANTED HER TO KEEP AN EYES ON HIS DAUGHTER

After SD’s statement, MK was taken into custody. MK, who did not accept the accusations, stated in his statement that SD, a first-term student of the school, came to him with his father and said that his father worked in another province and wanted him to keep an eye on his daughter. In his statement, MK said, “During the first semester, while I was at school, he came to me and said that his mother could not pick him up and that there were men waiting for him in the park to harass him, so he asked me to take them home with a car.” So I asked him if he had any other friends. After a while, I. The student named came to us. I took them into my vehicle. SD sat next to me in the vehicle. I. The student named sat in the back. Except for this incident I mentioned, SD did not get into my vehicle. I did not gift any kind of necklace to SD. During the month of Ramadan 2024, when I was at school, I entered SD’s classroom during the break and secretly left a thousand TL fitra money in his pen holder so that he would not be offended. SD said that his father lived in another province. For this reason, I left money in his pen box, purely for charity purposes. April 17 is my birthday. On April 17, 2024, SD came to me with his friend R. and congratulated me on my birthday and then gave me a box. I told him that I could not take his gift, but that I could pay for it. Since I didn’t have time anyway, I put the box in question in the closet. “I still haven’t looked inside,” he said.

‘THEY SLANDERED’

Regarding the messages, MK said, “SD is also added to my Instagram account. He added me. SD occasionally shared a photo of a male person on her account. In the photo it was written ‘my wife, my husband’. When I examined the profile of this male person, I noticed that he was violent and had pictures of himself with guns. So, on 16.04.2024, I said to SD at school, ‘You have fallen into a dirty place, it is not clear where it will lead you, you will get into trouble, I will tell your family and I will also report it to the school disciplinary board.’ There was no one with us at this time. Since it was a private matter, I told him this privately in the school garden. I definitely didn’t touch SD’s buttocks. I didn’t kiss him. We corresponded with SD from time to time on Instagram. These conversations were about the welfare and the progress of the lessons. We didn’t have a private conversation. “We had a conversation within the framework of the teacher-student relationship,” he said.

MK claimed that they slandered her with the guidance of her boyfriend after she saw her student SD in an inappropriate manner with her boyfriend and warned him. MK was arrested by the court after his statement at the prosecutor’s office.

While the Provincial Directorate of National Education appointed an inspector and launched an investigation, MK was also suspended.

STUDENTS WERE HEARD AS WITNESSES

One of the students in the same class, who was heard as a witness within the scope of the investigation, said that SD showed her a silver set consisting of a necklace, ring and earrings about a month ago and told her that teacher MK had bought it for him and put it in his jacket pocket. The same student said that their teacher, MK, came to the classroom and asked about SD’s pencil holder, and later SD went to the teacher and received the pencil holder, and there was a thousand TL in it. The next break, they went to the teacher to return the silver jewelry and money. The same student claimed that he was also in the same vehicle when teacher MK dropped SD off at his home, and that his teacher kissed SD on the cheek.

The other two students whose statements were taken said that their teacher MK also complimented other students, but he complimented SD more.

THREATENING MESSAGE AT THE POLICE STATION

Mother ND stated that they filed a criminal complaint to the prosecutor’s office after learning about what her daughter had gone through, and stated that the detained teacher MK sent threatening messages to her daughter while testifying at the police station. ND said, ”This incident started in January. First, the teacher approached the student the same way he would. We met the teacher and we thought, ‘the teacher loves her like a daughter.’ Once, he dropped me off at home and tried to kiss my daughter, saying ‘I’m going the same way’. When my daughter tried to stay away, he sent her sexual messages. When he sexually abused me with hand gestures at school, my daughter told us about the situation. “We did what was necessary and filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office and the school administration,” she said.

‘MY DAUGHTER’S MENTAL HEALTH HAS BEEN DETERMINED’

Stating that his daughter’s mental health deteriorated due to what happened, ND said, “She was very calm at first. Now he is very aggressive, when we say something, he takes things and throws them. He is being rude to my little daughter. After these events, when he was going to school, he said, ‘Is it okay if I don’t go to school?’ She didn’t want to go. So I sent it with various suggestions. “I want that teacher to receive the heaviest punishment,” he said. (DHA)
