Liceo Naval administration to transfer to Ministry of Education after sexual assault allegation

President Keiko Fujimori has announced that the administration of Liceo Naval Almirante Guise in San Borja will transfer from the Peruvian Navy to the Ministry of Education. This decision follows a major scandal involving the alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old student by ten classmates during a school trip.

The Peruvian Navy has preemptively removed the school's director, a teacher, and a football coach from their positions. The Public Ministry has launched a preliminary investigation, utilizing the Gesell chamber to take statements from the victim and the involved minors. The ten students under investigation will continue their education through virtual classes to prevent contact with the victim.

In addition to the criminal investigation, the Ministry of Education is reviewing the school's protocols to determine if they were breached. A teacher at the institution has also come forward, alleging that previous reports of bullying were ignored by authorities. Meanwhile, the Chamber of Deputies has announced it will summon school officials to ensure accountability and oversight of the case.
