NIBONG TEBAL, MALAYSIA: A 47-year-old teacher has been arrested for performing oral sex on a Year Two schoolgirl in Sungai Bakap here.

State CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said said the teacher had instructed the eight-year-old pupil to meet him in the music room during recess on Tuesday.

"She went to the music room at about 3.30pm without suspecting anything amiss. He then proceeded to strip and fondle her private parts before performing oral sex on her."

"The victim later went home and told her mother what had happened. She was subsequently taken to the South Seberang Prai district police headquarters in Jawi to make a report," he said last night.

The victim was sent to the Seberang Jaya Hospital for a medical examination.

SAC Wan Abdullah said the teacher was arrested when he turned up at the police headquarters to give a statement on Thursday, adding that he was remanded pending investigations.
