KASAOKA, Okayama -- A former public junior high school teacher who provided a 14-year-old schoolgirl with private lessons in her home in exchange for performing sex acts on her has been arrested, police said.

Yuichi Hatakeyama, 25, the former public junior high school teacher from Kasaoka, was arrested for breaking the Child Welfare Law.

Police said that Hatakeyama repeatedly molested his then third-year pupil on several occasions from late September last year until about Christmas Eve.

Kasaoka Board of Education officials said that Hatakeyama was employed as a public school teacher in 2005 and spent that year teaching math before moving on to teach English in 2006. He left the teaching service in March this year after his employment contract ran out.
