A Haia spokesman said the organization received a tip-off that two students at an intermediate school were being blackmailed by their teacher into having sex with him. The source said the teacher also ran a Tawafa office at a building that is rented to pilgrims.

“The teacher was using this office for what he was doing,” said the spokesman.

He added that the teacher promised the two students jobs at his establishment and SR2,000 salaries, and that he would pass them in school. “He also promised to mediate on their behalf with other teachers so they would pass all their subjects. After ascertaining this information, the Haia ambushed the teacher and broke into his apartment to find him with two other teachers and the students,” said the source.

He added that the three teachers were showing pornography films to the students to arouse their desires.

The three teachers will be taken to court after the police have completed investigations.
