A school teacher has been found guilty of sexual harassment against a number of his students in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri.

The trial was launched after five students aged between 12-14 made sexual harassment claims against the teacher. He was acquitted in two cases, but the court found him guilty in the three other cases, for which he has been given a 41-year jail sentence.

"God knows that I am innocent," the man said.

The Education Ministry had removed him from his position after the claims came to light last year.

Following the court verdict, he was arrested and taken to prison.
