Teacher Preyed On Male Students Through Facebook Chats
posted (May 5, 2015)
Last night we told you the about the Mopan Technical high school teacher accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a male student. Well, today the Education Officer from the Ministry of Education, Yma Casey confirmed that the Teaching Services Commission has dismissed teacher Elito Puc from the school and that the Chief Education Officer has revoked his teacher's license. This is following an investigation by the TSC's Board of Directors. Now, the details of the case have not been disclosed - what we know is based on streams of Facebook messages which we have received - and they show a pattern of highly disturbing beahviour.

Some of the messages we have seen show the teacher trying to bribe or solicit, nude pictures and sexual favors from the male student in exchange for lunch money as seen in these screen shots. It gets even more deranged, as the teacher was also trying to get friendly with other male students through the student he was chatting with as seen in these clips. The teacher also describes in explicit and revolting detail what sexual acts he wants the boys to perform. It is a very disturbing case and when we spoke to the Human Services Department today they told us that any child that is exploited, harassed or hurt should be referred to the child protection services unit. Casey also told us that Puc has a 30 day appeal period where he can challenge this outcome.
