Sepang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the woman, 37, was referred to the hospital after the police found bruise-like red mark on the neck of the student.
He added that police investigation showed the student, who is identified as the victim in the case, was supposed to return home from school on 4.50pm on Dec 12 last year.
"The victim, however, stayed with the teacher at the library (of the school).
"The victim claimed that he was hugged and kissed by the suspect, who is a mathematics teacher, until it left a bruise-like red mark on his neck," Wan Kamarul Azran, in a statement, said.

He added that police was in the process of completing its investigation into the case under Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act.
Investigation papers on the case, he said, would be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for the next course of action.
"The public is advised to speculate and spread false information on the case," he said.
Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11) principal assistant director Assistant Commissioner Siti Kamsiah Hassan told Harian Metro that several people, including the teacher and the student, have been called up to have their statement recorded after a report was lodged over the case in December last year.
"The police are in the process of completing the investigation paper," she said.
Meanwhile, the mother of the victim told Harian Metro that she received a call from the Education Ministry on the case involving her son.
"The incident took place some time ago. I thought the teacher has repented. However, I thought wrong when I found out she was still in contact with my son.
"After the case went viral, I was contacted by the (Education) minister to set up a meeting to discuss on the case.
"Insya-Allah, I will inform her of all the facts (surrounding the case)," she said. - NST
