  "summary": "A 56-year-old teacher has been charged in the Mukah Magistrate’s Court with 10 counts of sexually assaulting female pupils between 2022 and 2024. The accused, who was a teacher at a primary school at the time of the alleged offences, is accused of committing the offences against 10 girls while in a position of trust as their teacher. The incidents are alleged to have taken place in the school’s science laboratory and classrooms. A police report was lodged by a secondary school counselling teacher in Mukah on August 7 following a complaint from one of the alleged victims. The accused, represented by a lawyer, did not enter a plea, and bail was granted of RM2,000 for each charge, totalling RM20,000 with two local sureties. The case will be mentioned again on October 20.",
