Police in the northern province of Phu Tho have launched an investigation into a local high school headmaster who has been accused of sexually abusing many boy students.
According to Nguyen Van Manh, chairman of Thanh Son District People’s Committee, the district police have started the investigation into Thanh Son Ethnic Minority Boarding High School.
Son said that local authorities had only heard about the case through social networks and newspapers, and had not yet received any official accusations.
At present, the school headmaster whose name has not yet been disclosed is still working.
Pham The Anh, deputy head of Thanh Son District’s Police Department said that the agency is working with the local Department of Education and Training as well as the headmaster over the case.
In May this year, the school co-operated with the local police on an awareness campaign over sexual and physical abuse.
