Kosovo Albanian high school students and NGOs staged a protest in the town of Glogovac on Friday over the sexual harassment of a fellow student by a professor and a policeman.

The crowd pelted the police with eggs when they refused to step back two paces to show that they were distancing themselves from their fellow officer who was accused of rape.  

The Kosovo Police Inspectorate arrested a deputy police chief in Glogovac charging him the statutory rape ofa 16 year old girl after she reported sexual harassment by one of her teachers.  

The Insajderi portal said the deputy police chief was also suspected of having forced the girl to have an abortion in Pristina.  

The incident drew reactions from across Kosovo, including from top officials. A special session of parliament was called over the incident.
