86. On June 6, 2003, the Vice Principal asked the provincial Director of Education of Guayas for "two months of unpaid leave” until the arrest warrant was lifted.92 The request was denied. 87. On August 19, 2003, Ms. Petita Albarracín reported the Vice Principal to the Provincial Director for "immoral conduct related to his teaching position, an offense established in section 4 of Article 32 of the Teaching Profession Act,” as well as “for having violated the Ministerial Regulations on sexual harassment committed in educational institutions […], asking that the corresponding administrative inquiry into the educator be launched.”93 88. In communication of September 2003, with no date of receipt, four teachers from the school reported to the Education Superintendent of the Province of Guayas “a series of incidents of misconduct that have damaged the school’s reputation, incidents that were witnessed and concealed by the principal, DR. JOSÉ RUIZ MÉNDEZ […].” Regarding Bolívar Espín, they stated that at that time, he was having relations with a fourth-year student, and that three years ago, he had also covered up relations with another student of the same grade.94 89. On January 9, 2004, the Provincial Superintendent of Education of Guayas sent the Provincial Office a report entitled “Report of the Special Oversight Committee to Investigate the Matter of the Doctor Miguel Martínez Serrano School.” This report, which the IACHR understands to have a broader scope than just the case of Paola, states that on December 10, 2003, a teacher named Rosario Isabel Soto reported "the misdeeds committed some time ago culminating in the death of Miss Paola Guzmán Albarracín.” These included a professor of natural science who "regularly groped" the female students. The report illustrated this with the example of a student who went to the psychologist and told her this teacher "gropes" her. They took this to the principal, who answered "that this could not be, because the students do not know what HARASSMENT means […]." 95 Regarding Rosario Isabel Soto, it should be noted that in her statement to the Office of the Public Prosecutor, she indicated that she had been harassed by Bolívar Espín at the end of the 88-89 school year. Because of this, she left her job for a time, but later returned to the school96. 90. In a brief filed on January 14, 2004, with the Provincial Director of Education of Guayas, Ms. Albarracín stated that she knew that during the 89-90 school year, Vice Principal Bolívar Espín Zurita was suspended for sexually harassing a student. She submitted a copy of the arrest warrant issued by the Fifth Criminal Judge of Guayas on January 5, 2004, and asked that justice be done by applying the Code on Children and the Criminal Code.97 91. On December 30, 2004, Bolívar Espín was dismissed from the educational profession for unjustifiably leave from his work. It is worth noting the brief dated January 24, 2011, in which the Provincial Director of Education of Guayas informed the Deputy Secretary of Education for the Coastal Region that there was no record that Bolívar Espín had been punished for “immoral conduct in the performance of his duties,” but rather for abandoning his position although he indicates that Paola Guzmán Albarracín is mentioned.98 Attachment 66.
