Overview
- The court, which issued its ruling Tuesday, set a prison term of 3 years, 1 month and 9 days after finding the lecturer guilty of aggravated sexual harassment.
- Judges ordered a lifetime ban from teaching in any school or university, a no-contact order with the student and her family, and S/5,000 in civil damages.
- Prosecutors said the misconduct happened June 26, 2024 after an animal nutrition class at UNSAAC, where the professor made sexual propositions and obscene gestures to the student.
- Local outlets reported the case as a first in the region that ends with a prison sentence for a university professor over harassment in an educational setting.
- La República reported the sentence’s execution is suspended until a second-instance review, so the convicted professor remains free under court rules for now.
