The suspect surnamed Wang was the principal of the Shuikou Primary School in Gaotai Township of Liaoning Province. Wang, 50, is suspected of sexually abusing five minors, according to local authorities.

According to the education bureau of Suizhong County, which administers the township, parents of the students last month reported to authorities about five underage girls being sexually abused by Wang, which led to the suspect's detention.

The school has 120 students and eight faculty members. Wang has been principal of the school since 1991.
