who faced problems at home or had disciplinary issues, targeting the teens while alone in his office.
The court heard that the victims were often called in by an operations manager to the school's general office to serve detention, receive counselling or to be told about the disciplinary action that will be taken against them. The victim felt"uneasy and disgusted" but did not know how to respond to the situation, returning to class afterwards, said Deputy Public Prosecutors Sruthi Boppana and Mark Yeo.
A month after this, the accused targeted another 13-year-old boy who was serving detention near the general office. The accused told the boy"not to do anything wrong that would result in him having to go to Boys Town" and continued touching him.The incidents against these three boys came to light only after a fourth victim, who was 14, told a fifth victim, aged 15, about what had happened. When the boys realised that their principal had committed similar acts on them, they reported the matter to the operations manager.
