A family already shattered by betrayal is now reeling from fresh trauma after a primary school teacher, arrested for the alleged rape of their 12-year-old daughter, managed to contact the child via video call from his prison cell last week. The 27-year-old educator, who was remanded in custody pending his trial, is accused of assaulting the young pupil at the school where he taught. Instead of finding safety behind bars, the victim’s family has been plunged into a nightmare of fear and disbelief.
According to family members, the video call appeared on the child’s phone late one evening, with the accused teacher visible on the screen, attempting to speak with her. The distraught mother, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect her daughter’s identity, described the moment as “pure terror.” “She screamed and dropped the phone,” the mother recounted. “We thought jail would protect her from him, but he found a way to reach her. How is this possible?” The family immediately reported the incident to the police, demanding answers on how an inmate could bypass prison security to contact a victim.
The Department of Correctional Services has launched an urgent investigation into the breach, which raises serious questions about the integrity of inmate communication systems. Prison authorities have confirmed that all calls from correctional facilities are supposed to be monitored and restricted. Legal experts say the incident not only constitutes a violation of the court’s protection order but also amounts to intimidation and witness tampering, adding fresh charges to the teacher’s mounting legal woes. Meanwhile, the young girl is receiving trauma counseling, but her family fears the psychological damage has already been done.
