Student’s tale of romance sparks police probe
SEPANG: A 16-year-old student’s claim of a romantic encounter with his female mathematics teacher has sparked a police investigation into allegations of a sexual relationship.

The student arrived home with red marks on his neck, attributing them to a kiss from the teacher.

There were also viral messages between the two declaring their love for each other.

The teacher could also be seen responding in one of the messages, saying that she was flattered by the constant love declarations from the student.

An X user had tweeted that she had no other choice but to use social media to bring this matter to light as she could no longer tolerate it.

In the tweet, she claimed that her younger brother is in an intimate relationship with a secondary school teacher.

The user claimed there is no legal basis to take action against the teacher because the relationship is said to be consensual.The tweet has since been removed.

Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the police were alerted on the case after the student’s mother lodged a police report on Dec 12 last year.
