The Shirin City Criminal Court has sentenced a school counselor to five days of administrative detention for sexually harassing a 16-year-old student, according to a report by Bu Kun.
Case documents reveal that following a counseling session, the man suggested the student manage the school’s social media page. He later began messaging her late at night. When the girl stopped responding, he called her and asked her out for a walk.
The student stated that she initially did not understand who was messaging her and had never received messages of this nature before. The man pleaded not guilty, rejected the presented evidence, and stated that he has three children and had no relationship with the girl.
While he also denied professing his love to the student, he later apologized to her and her family.
The court found the man guilty under Part 1 of Article 41-1 of the Criminal Code for sexual harassment and sentenced him to five-day administrative arrest.. Additionally, an interlocutory injunction was issued to the Preschool and School Education Department of the Sirdaryo Region, demanding that appropriate action be taken against the man.
