Incidents in the city of Zurich Teacher in custody for "transgressive behavior"

At a school in the city of Zurich, "transgressive behavior by a teacher" was reported. The person concerned is currently in custody.

In a school in the city of Zurich, the school management received information about a teacher's transgressive behavior. The city police's child protection department and the Canton of Zurich's education authority were immediately informed.

The Zurich public prosecutor's office opened criminal proceedings on suspicion of offenses against sexual integrity. The accused teacher is in police custody, as the public prosecutor's office told "20 Minuten".

The exact number of victims affected is still unclear, as the investigation is only just beginning. The teacher was released in cooperation with the public education authority.

No return to school

According toBlick, a female teacher is said to have caught the man. She had "observed the teacher having sexualized contact with a pupil." The teacher then reported him. This information has not yet been confirmed by officials.

The parents/guardians were invited to an information evening last week. The school also sent a letter to the parents. The letter states: "As you know, we have received information that your child's teacher has been behaving in a way that crosses boundaries. The school always takes such reports seriously. Parents of affected children have already been informed directly."

A return to school is out of the question. "The teacher will therefore leave the school at the end of the school year 23/24. The teacher will be released until the end of her employment." The presumption of innocence continues to apply.

Contact points have been set up for affected children and parents. No further information can be provided due to the ongoing proceedings. The presumption of innocence applies.
