According to allegations, the cleaning staff member D.T. verbally and physically sexually harassed 3rd-grade student E.Ş. It was claimed that D.T. wanted to give E.Ş. his social media account, said he would buy her gifts and give her money, and kissed her on the cheek.

FIRST DETENTION, THEN RELEASE

After the student reported the situation to her teacher, the matter was reported to the police. Upon the notification, police teams arrived at the address and detained D.T. the day before yesterday. After the procedures at the police station, the suspect D.T. was referred to the courthouse yesterday and was released under judicial control.

"I WILL BE YOUR BOYFRIEND"

Parents who gathered in front of the school after learning about the incident reacted. Yasemin Çetin, a relative of E.Ş., said, "About a week ago, a cleaning worker was hired at the school. He approached our daughter and tried to communicate with her. He said he wanted to be friends with her. He wanted to be friends with an 8-year-old girl. She says she didn't want such a thing. She goes to class. The next day, he empties the classroom, and our daughter is left alone. This staff member comes back and tells our daughter, 'I will be your boyfriend.' He engages in some actions involving physical contact. When our daughter tells her teacher about the situation, the school administration and police take action. This person was detained. Later, he was released under judicial control. His statement was taken while our child’s family was not present. It was done under pressure. Parents who heard this also gathered in front of the school. We want this person to be arrested and for the judicial process to be initiated as soon as possible," she said.
