A female teacher is being held by at the Kombewa Police Station in Kisumu County, following allegations of’ initiating’ some of her female students into lesbianism.
The teacher from a Secondary School in Seme Sub-county was arrested over the weekend, after some of the students revealed what they had gone through in her hands.
According to a parent at the school, at least 16 female students admitted to having been victims of the teacher’s actions.
“It started from one student confessing having been lured by the teacher to engage in the act in exchange for money, and the issue escalated with more students opening up,” the parent was quoted by The Standard.
The parent claimed that at some point, the teacher was said to be convincing the girls to spend time at her house in Kombewa Market Centre, where they were given goodies.
Kisumu County Commander John Kamau confirmed the teacher’s arrest, even as the School Principal defended her.
“When I got the information, I did investigations internally and found nothing. But we know the person who has some hidden interests in the school and want to paint us negatively despite our good performance in the national examinations in the past few years,” The Standard quoted the head teacher.
Kisumu County Director of Education Sabina Aroni said she is aware of the case, adding that investigations are on-going.
The teacher is expected to be arraigned in court on Monday.
