Pol Capt Chalongchai Bangjan of the Muang district station said on Saturday that officers had skipped the summoning procedure and sought an arrest warrant because the offence was serious. Withholding the name of the school and the teacher, Pol Capt Chalongchai said the man had asked individual grade-six pupils to give him massages in a room at the school and then touched their breasts and genitals. The director of the school, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he had proposed the suspension of the teacher to the local administrative organisation pending the outcome of the case.
