A construction worker in Talisay City, Cebu was arrested  after a teacher accused him of touching her privates while she was on her way to school. 

The Talisay City Police Station took into custody the 28-year-old suspect who touched reportedly the private part of a 23-year-old teacher. 

The victim said she was walking at the sidewalk along the national highway in Barangay Bulacao, Talisay City on her way to school. A man was walking from the opposite direction. 

She said that as soon as she got near him, the man scooped her privates.

Scooping is a form of sexual assault that involves grabbing of a woman’s breasts or touching her genitals.

The victim was found to have been crying and shaking uncontrollably  when roving policemen responded to the incident. 

However, the suspect denied he did the act intentionally. 

He said that while it is true he hit the woman in the private spot, it was by accident because his arms flailed about while walking briskly. 

The suspect will be facing charges for acts of lasciviousness.
