Six teachers arrested over pupils’ sex acts

NAIROBI: Kenyan police said yesterday that they had arrested six teachers over a viral video of primary school pupils simulating sex as punishment in an incident that caused an uproar.

The footage showed four boys in school uniform simulating sexual acts under a tree in the school compound as the teachers watched.

The six are heard chatting in the background of the 29-second clip and bursting into laughter as one shirtless child wipes tears from his face. Police said the clip “exposing school pupils in an indecent act” was recorded in Nyamache, a rural town, 300km from Nairobi. Six teachers, five women and a man, have been arrested, police said. |
