A U.S. teacher working in Korea has been arrested for molesting a 7-year-old child.
The Busan Metropolitan Police Agency said Tuesday that the suspect, who was teaching English, was taken into custody for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
The teacher is alleged to have sexually abused a 7-year-old girl at an English kindergarten in Busan.
The arrest follows a report filed by the girl’s parents.
The suspect is also accused of violating Immigration Control Law, as he was working at the language institute on a tourist visa.
Authorities are also investigating the institute that illegally hired the suspect.
