The Supreme Court (SC) has suspended a lawyer from the practice of law for five years, and barred him from teaching law in any school for 10 years for making sexual advances on his students.

In a recent decision that was made public on Wednesday, penalized by the SC was Atty. Cresencio Co Untian Jr., a law professor of the Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City.

In a decision written by Associate Justice Jose C. Reyes Jr., the SC found that Untian violated Rule 1.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility for Lawyers which provides that “a lawyer shall not engage in an unlawful, dishonest, immoral or deceitful conduct.” The other student said that Untian showed her a naked photograph of a woman who looked like her and teased her about it.
