The prosecution intends to charge a teacher from the Hotel School in Ghent, who is also a local councilor in Lievegem, for inappropriate behavior involving minors. He is suspected of inciting two minors to engage in sexual acts or prostitution and verbally threatening another minor. A decision on whether to proceed with a trial will be made next week. Meanwhile, the teacher has been suspended from his position at the school, and there were calls for his temporary suspension as a councilor. The mayor stated that the municipality will await the outcome of the investigation and legal proceedings.
