高雄某知名美語補習班美籍外籍教師「Grizzly」於2023年8月起任教,2024年初被家長指控在課堂上利用改作業及念課文機會猥褻兩名國小一年級女童,家長報警後補習班解聘該教師,檢方提起公訴。
高雄某知名美語補習班美籍外籍教師「Grizzly」,遭家長指控利用改作業及念課文機會猥褻兩名國小一年級女童,法官認定全案僅有女童單一指述且缺乏補強證據,監視器畫面亦無發現異常,判外師無罪。
判決指出,美籍外師JOHN(授課名Grizzly)於2023年8月起在高雄某美語補習班任教,2名小一女童的家長指控,外師在2024年初,多次利用全班寫功課或下課個別念課文時,將她們抱坐在大腿上,隔著衣物撫摸私密處,甚至拉手觸摸老師私處。

家長報警提告後,補習班也隨即將外師解聘,檢方偵結後依對未滿14歲女子強制猥褻罪嫌提起公訴。高雄地方法院審理時,外師否認犯行,強調從未單獨將學生留在大腿上撫摸。
法官勘驗補習班教室監視器畫面,發現女童在被指控遭猥褻的時間點,與外師接觸時間極短,且過程自然,甚至在朗讀英文時順暢復誦「Grizzly is a good teacher(Grizzly是好老師)」,並與外師有說有笑,沒有發現遭受侵害。
此外,巡堂老師與同班同學出庭時均表示,並未目睹外師有撫摸學生私處等不適當行為,另一名受害女童的母親雖證稱,孩子事後情緒反常,但法官認定屬聽聞轉述,無法作為直接補強證據。
法官認為,幼童因年幼,陳述能力與記憶或許有限,但刑事判決嚴格遵循「無罪推定」與「補強證據原則」,被害人指述不能作為有罪判決的唯一依據,全案除2名女童的單一陳述外,缺乏其他客觀補強證據,判決外師無罪,可上訴。
