It's a shame that these criminals are not seriously punished and made an example out of. Pointless having all these laws limited only to books. Only way to stop these incidents is to have harsh punishments. Proven child molesters should be castrated or put behind bars for life

Look, these are not news items to make fun of. Kindly show respect towards the victims. It had happened since 2008! And it took SO LONG to report him?

The most common crime in Sri Lanka at the moment, next to stealing and fraud.

this is a social problem. Child abuse is rampant in Sri Lanka! It needs public discussion.

No doubt standard of education is falling as their attention is only on committing crimes on students.Maximum punishment must be given to him irrespective of which political party he belongs.

No problem! Promote him to Director of Sex Education.

For the post he is holding & what he have done he should be given capital punishment.

Don't trust anyone to leave your children with! The people closest to you can be the very people abusing your children. They can be relatives, close friends and neighbors.

Working parents you risk the innocence of your children. Any abuse of this kind leaves a scar in the life of the child and causes the child to have a negative view about people and life itself.

maximum punishment should be given so that there wont be a next person and also he should not be permitted to join any educational institutions.
Why are these students are quite they should have fear this should be addressed.
