An al­leged sex­u­al as­sault at­tempt at San­ta Rosa Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School has left staff and stu­dents trau­ma­tised, af­ter an in­trud­er gained ac­cess to the premis­es on June 2nd. The preda­tor re­port­ed­ly locked him­self in a store­room with sev­er­al fe­male pupils and tried to mo­lest them.

The sus­pect, who is yet to be ap­pre­hend­ed by po­lice, re­port­ed­ly ac­cessed the school’s com­pound along Pin­to Road, Ari­ma, via a hole in the perime­ter fence, be­fore the bell rang around 8.30 am.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, wit­ness­es said the sus­pect, pre­tend­ing to be an On-the-Job Trainee (OJT) mu­sic teacher, is ac­cused of lur­ing pupils in­to a store­room un­der the guise of need­ing help to move fur­ni­ture. Once the chil­dren were in­side, he al­leged­ly locked the door and so­licit­ed sex­u­al acts from them, of­fer­ing mon­ey in ex­change.
