Stupor and disgust between parents

Stupor, disgust, disbelief, anger. These are some of the feelings expressed by many of the parents who have their children at the CEIP José Tejera and who still did not know this Friday about the complaints of alleged sexual abuse committed by their little ones’ gym teacher.

According to the mothers of the girls who have denounced the alleged irregular conduct, their daughters have declared to the Police that GGP caressed them in different parts of their body, touched their hair and often repeated various comments such as “what beautiful eyes you have », «you are going to have the body of your mother», «you are going to be a model», «if you were my age we would be dating», «you have the body of a high school girl», «if you had a boyfriend I would be jealous» or «I I treat them as if they were my girlfriends.”

In addition, the victims reported that the touching occurred during classes, with some of the students confessing that she caressed their legs while helping them stretch or that she had touched their buttocks.
