A male expatriate teacher was caught red-handed molesting an 8-year-old boy in Gaafu Dhaalu atoll Hoadehdhoo, Thursday night.

According to Corporal Ageel Mohamed who is temporarily in charge of running the Thinadhoo Police Station, the teacher was caught red-handed by a group of people which included the boy’s mother.

“The teacher is known to visit the boy’s home from time to time,” said Ageel. “The foreigner used to live in that house before. So due to this the house residents are known to be on friendly terms with the teacher. However when the incident occurred there were no other people within the house.”

The teacher has now been sent to Male after being kept in Thinadhoo Police custody for a day.
