Police on Friday are continuing to investigate a case of child sexual abuse, for which a man was arrested on Thursday.

According to police spokesman Christos Andreou police confirmed the alleged perpetrator sent messages with sexual content to at least one minor, with instances involving four other minors being investigated.

Sources report that the man is a teacher in a gymnasium, however, due to the sensitive stage of the investigation, police were not in a position to confirm or deny this fact, Andreou said.

He confirmed that the man is a 25-year-old and that the incidents of abuse are recent.

The crime came to light following a report filed by parents, Andreou stated.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornographic material, attempted solicitation of minors for sexual purposes, sexual abuse of a minor and stalking.

According to a statement, during a search of the suspect’s home police officers found and seized as evidence a mobile phone, two laptops, two hard disks and a USB drive.

Later in the day, a Nicosia district court remanded the suspect in police custody for eight days.

Police are continuing the investigation.
