KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — Police have taken a statement from a female teacher as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male student.

Sepang police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof the 37-year-old teacher gave her statement at the Sepang district police headquarters on Sunday.

“Only a statement was taken, the suspect in this case has not been arrested. Several other individuals have also given their statements, including the complainant and witnesses who are privy to the case,” he said in a brief text message yesterday.

He said investigations are ongoing before the papers will be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s office for further instructions.

“Police urge the public to refrain from spreading unfounded rumours or misinformation regarding this case,” he said.

He said the victim had been referred to a government hospital for further examination.
