한 초등학교 교사가 초등학교 여학생과 성관계를 맺은 혐의를 받고 있어 충격을 주고 있다.
충북지방경찰청은 30일 초등학교 여학생(12)과 성관계를 맺은 혐의(미성년자 의제강간)로 도내 모 초등학교 교사인 30대 초반의 A씨를 검찰에 불구속 송치했다고 밝혔다.
용의자는 지난 8월 정도에 스마트폰 채팅 애플리케이션을 통해 만난 여학생과 성관계를 맺은 혐의를 받고 있으며, 금품 거래 여부는 확인되지 않았다.
경찰은 A씨가 도주할 염려가 없어 불구속 송치했다면서 “여죄를 수사해 구속영장 신청 여부를 검토할 계획”이라고 밝혔다.
한편 A씨는 근무하는 학교에 16일, 사표를 제출했으며 충북도교육청은 검찰로부터 범죄 사실 통보서가 오면 징계위원회를 열어 처벌 수위를 결정할 방침이다.

Elementary school teacher suspected of sex with 12-year-old
The Chungbuk Provincial Police Agency said Wednesday that it has forwarded the case of a 30-year-old elementary school teacher to the prosecutors on suspicion of statutory rape.
“We will investigate further to see if there are any additional offenses, after which we will apply for an arrest warrant,” an official from the agency said. The suspect allegedly had sex with a 12-year-old elementary school student.
The official added that the accused has willingly complied with the investigation and therefore is unlikely to flee.
The suspect submitted a letter of resignation to his school on Oct. 16, but the school has yet to accept it. The provincial education office plans to bring him to the disciplinary committee if his charges are confirmed.
