Sex education ‘classes’ at Royal
By Chris Kamalendran
A 20- year- old youth who posed off as a school master and entered Royal College Colombo to give lessons related to 'sexual education' has been eventually nabbed after a female security officer suspected his movements, Police said. The youth had entered unattended classrooms on many occasions and given sex lessons to students. He had visited the school for the past four months.

His actual name was Thusitha Bandara, but he had introduced himself as Mano Kaushalya. He is reported to have spoken to the students mainly on homosexuality and invited students to come along with him to places where they could observe live acts. In an apparent move to cover his steps the bogus sex teacher used different gates of the college to enter it.

The lady security officer felt suspicious about the movements of the 'master'. On a subsequent day the 'fake master' was 'teaching' in a year seven class in the absence of a teacher . The security officer alerted another master and the principal who acted to get the bogus sex master arrested. He was produced in the Fort Magistrate's court and remanded till Friday.

Adding a twist to the story police have now found that the bogus sex master came from Kandy and had earlier been a teacher at a Daham Pasala where he got into trouble after allegedly borrowing Rs. 25, 000 from a colleague and failing to return it.

Police said some of the students had complained to their parents about the 'unusual lessons' they received at school and some of the parents had made inquiries from the school, but the principal of the college had denied the allegations. The principal Lakshman Gomez when contacted declined to comment.
