[The Epoch Times, December 17, 2024](The Epoch Times reporter Huang Yuyan reported in Taichung, Taiwan) On the 17th, two parents in Taichung City, accompanied by city councilor Jiang Heshu, came forward to accuse “a certain elementary school baseball coach in Taichung for sexually assaulting young players.” , at least 25 people were victimized. The wolf master even videotaped threats to school children and is currently under detention. Jiang Heshu questioned that the coach was sentenced as early as 2012 for “forced indecency with men under the age of 14.” Why couldn’t the employment mechanism prevent the coach from being blocked? Jiang Weimin, the municipal education director, explained that when the incident occurred, the elementary school coach had not yet been registered. After his parents called the police in November this year, the school dismissed the coach and held a gender equality meeting to deal with it.
Mayor Lu Xiuyan criticized the incident as “very abhorrent and outrageous” during the parliamentary inquiry, and hoped that prosecutors and judges would “retrial and sentence harshly” and give justice to parents and children. She suspects that there may be more than 25 victims and will expand the investigation, but she must be particularly patient and careful when investigating children.
A case of molestation against a baseball team coach at an elementary school in Taichung was exposed. The coach not only stretched his claws on the young players, but also asked the students to touch each other and have sex. If they did not comply, they would be frozen and unable to play. During the six years that the Wolf Division has been in office, 25 schoolchildren have been identified as victims. A few days ago, when the police received a report and went to his residence to arrest him, they were shocked to find that he had prepared a charcoal pot and wanted to commit suicide. They immediately broke the window and took him back to the police station.
Congressman Jiang Heshu questioned that the coach was sentenced for forcible molestation of men under the age of 14 in 2012 and had at least two related cases. However, five years later, this elementary school in Taichung still hired this person. It is extremely exaggerated. . He questioned, did the school not know this when it hired the coach? Why can’t the employment mechanism prevent wolf divisions from being blocked? How many children who have graduated have been victimized and have not been discovered, cared for or treated? He hopes that the city government will provide these children with assistance to help them get over the shadow of their past.
Jiang Weimin said that the Education Bureau received a report from parents on October 26 this year, immediately activated the gender equality mechanism, suspended the coach, and terminated the contract on November 11. The Home Defense Center also intervened in the investigation and reported the case to the police for investigation. He stressed that the sexual harassment case would not stop and would require the school to continue to expand the investigation and launch a physical and mental counseling mechanism for the victimized students. In addition, teachers with relevant bad records would be dismissed.
Is the teacher recruitment mechanism ineffective? Jiang Weimin explained that the school inquired about the coaching record in 2019, but it was not recorded in the system at that time. The teacher was not included in the incompetent list. The system imported the data from the Legal Department in 2021, but the school should not have made regular inquiries at that time. . He emphasized that after the investigation, the relevant responsibilities of the school and relevant personnel will be investigated in depth.
Lu Xiuyan emphasized that the Education Bureau should also provide counseling for those who have graduated or transferred to other schools, and instructed the Legal Affairs Bureau to set up a legal assistance group to assist the parents of the victims and the school to pursue legal investigations. Schools at all levels in the city should expand the investigation of teachers and staff with criminal records. work. ⬦
