A school director in Urta-Chirchiq District, 39-year-old J.I., has been held administratively liable for sending sexually explicit SMS messages to a minor student via Telegram. The news outlet Kun.uz reviewed the court decision and provided detailed coverage of the incident.

According to court documents, J.I. sent the messages on April 16 and 17 with the intent of sexual harassment. During the trial, the director admitted guilt, claiming he wrote the messages "for educational purposes" and expressed remorse. However, the student's legal representative demanded a harsher punishment, stating that he is unfit for his position.

The Urta-Chirchiq District Court found J.I. guilty of an offense under Article 41-1 of the Administrative Responsibility Code (Sexual Harassment) and sentenced him to 5 days of administrative arrest. This ruling highlights the ethical accountability of school leaders and reflects society's firm stance against such misconduct.

This case echoes a previous report where a bank employee in Tashkent was arrested for 5 days for harassing a colleague in a hotel. These incidents underscore the ongoing issue of sexual harassment in society and the enforcement of legal measures against such crimes.
