A former Japanese primary school teacher was found guilty Thursday of 95 cases of sexual abuse and sentenced to 30 years in prison, DPA reported.
A high court in Hiroshima handed down the highest possible verdict against the 44-year-old, the Kyodo News agency reported.
Between 2001 and 2006 the teacher raped or otherwise sexually abused his victims, then aged between 9 and 12, on 95 occasions.
The court said the man had abused the public trust in teachers with his "monstrous crimes," and showed little remorse, thereby justifying the maximum sentence.
