Teachers Arrested for Sexual Misconduct in India

Multiple cases of sexual abuse by teachers have emerged across different regions in India and the United States, highlighting a disturbing trend in educational institutions. In Prince George's County, Maryland, Mark Cobb, a teacher at Cooper Lane Elementary, faces serious charges for engaging in a year-long inappropriate relationship with a 9-year-old student and possessing child pornography. Meanwhile, in Parbhani, Maharashtra, a 43-year-old teacher has been arrested for inappropriate touching of girl students after complaints were lodged by the school principal. In Tamil Nadu, Ramachandra Soni, an art teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya, was arrested for sexually harassing several female students, following a complaint from a Class VIII student. These incidents have prompted calls for increased vigilance and protective measures in schools to safeguard children from abuse. Authorities across both regions are emphasizing the importance of reporting such misconduct to ensure justice and protection for young victims.
