Female teacher gets 5 years for rape

11th September 2009

A woman teacher accused of raping one of her female pupils has been found guilty and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by a court in Slupsk.


According to the prosecution, the teacher (who cannot be named for legal reasons) raped her 13-year old female student “repeatedly and over a sustained period of time.” The court put the figure at 50.

The abuse began in 2004 and took place at school, at the girl’s home and during summer camps. Often the teacher was drunk, the prosecution said, adding that she had used threats and intimidation to ensure the girl did not tell anyone.

The case only came to light after the girl’s parents read her diary. ...
