She said there are two other victims who can testify about his actions.

Taking the advice of the help center of the Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education, she asked police to investigate the case.

She posted on Facebook on Thursday that she had been sexually harassed by her teacher, and that phone calls or text messages from other victims would be much appreciated.

“Police will first hear from the other alleged victims the student mentioned and then summon the teacher for investigation,” said a police official.

Police will notify the Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education regarding the investigation and check for any other possible victims.
