FBI investigates London links of teacher who abused 90 boys
William Vahey, who taught at Southbank International School, admitted molesting children while teaching in Caracas

An elite London school has become embroiled in an FBI-led international child abuse investigation into a highly regarded teacher who is believed to have molested more than 90 boys.

William Vahey, a 64-year old American who taught at the Southbank International School in Westminster between 2009 and 2013, killed himself in Minnesota in March after confessing to drugging and molesting children while on field trips.

He had been found with a memory stick that contained sexually graphic images of at least 90 boys who appeared to have been drugged. They were catalogued with dates and locations that corresponded to his overnight field trips with students beginning in 2008 when he was teaching in the Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas, Venezuela.

Southbank's chair of governors, the former chief inspector of schools, Sir Chris Woodhead, said the school was "deeply, deeply shocked" by the FBI's announcement of the suspected mass crime. The fee-paying school is used by foreign executives and diplomats. Vahey taught boys aged 11 to 16.

Woodhead confirmed Vahey took part in several field trips while at Southbank and said parents at the school were last night showing "considerable concern".

The school is planning to either hold a meeting or will write to parents within 24 hours about the crisis. Families are also to be offered psychological counselling.

The FBI said that Vahey was jailed in California in 1969 for child molestation, but Woodhead said that nothing showed up on criminal record checks or references taken in the UK and abroad by the school, where Vahey had taught history and geography.

Scotland Yard is helping assess the FBI's intelligence about "potential alleged offences against children in London". The FBI said it was trying to identify the dozens of children pictured in the photos.

Patrick Fransen, an FBI special agent, said: "He had access to children because of his position of trust. The manner in which he committed these acts – while the boys were unconscious – may have inhibited them from knowing what happened, making it impossible for them to come forward at the time of the molestation."

As well as teaching in London, Vahey also worked in schools in Caracas in Venezuela, Jakarta in Indonesia, Dhahran in Saudi Arabia, Tehran and Ahwaz in Iran, Athens, Madrid and Beirut, during his career in education. The FBI has urged anyone who believes they may have been a victim to come forward.

Vahey was working in Nicaragua when he was exposed in March by his employer who discovered the digitised images, the FBI said. When confronted about the images by a school administrator, he confessed he was molested as a child and had preyed on boys his entire life, giving them sleeping pills prior to the molestation. Within days he killed himself.

"This is a completely shocking revelation," said Woodhead. "We are co-operating with what is now an international police inquiry. We are supplying the police with all the information they want; trips Vahey took and so on.

"When he was appointed we ran a criminal records bureau check and again three years later. In each case there was no cause for alarm. "We took three references [from previous schools], two from Venezuela and one from Jakarta. All of the references were very positive and said he was an outstanding member of staff. They said he was very willing to take school trips but with what we know now that is not as positive as it was when we read them."

Found a disturbing citation that said pedophiles could constitute up to 1 of every 20 men and about a tenth of that for women. That seems extremely high to me, though.

A paedophile teacher who abused dozens of pupils at a London school is one of the most prolific sexual predators ever, the FBI has said.

The American agency is leading the investigation into the crimes of William James Vahey, who killed himself as authorities began to uncover the scale of his abuse at schools across the world.

FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said: "Without a doubt, this is certainly one of the most prolific suspected sexual predators that we've seen, given the numbers of children, potential victims, his position of trust, and so forth.

"And some of the allegations and the methods that are being alleged that he may have employed while committing these crimes."

Ms Dunlap added the FBI would not "stop seeking justice" because Vahey is dead.

FBI agents are in the UK to assist with the investigation into the abuse at Southbank International School in London.

The 64-year-old taught history and geography there from 2009 to 2013.

Executive principal Graham Lacey said images of between 50 and 60 pupils at the school were found on the American national's computer.

The FBI is in possession of pictures at least 90 different boys aged 12 to 14 and is concerned there could be more.

Because Vahey drugged some of his victims, many might not even know they were abused.

The school was closed on Friday and is asking for any pupils with disturbing experiences to come forward.

Vahey's crimes were uncovered after a maid stole a USB stick from his house containing images of his victims.

Sky News has obtained an FBI affidavit which reveals the extent of the abuse.

The document explains how Vahey reported a theft from his apartment in Nicaragua in 2013.

His maid was dismissed, but handed a memory stick she stole to the American Nicaraguan School in Managua, Nicaragua.

The images it contained "depict minor males in various states of undress" who "appear to be asleep, unconscious or possibly drugged".

Staff at the Nicaraguan school confronted Vahey, who told them he was molested as a child and had preyed on boys all his life.

Vahey was convicted of a child sex offence in California in 1969 but appears to have failed to sign the sex offenders' register.

Although homosexuals only make up less than 0.5% of population, a third of child abusers are men that target only boys.

Well, this one was married. And parents are talking about him grooming them as well to think he was the best thing since sliced bread for the kids.

As this is my first contribution to this site I feel I must tread softly.

I get enraged when people from outside criticise a country that has taken them in and they reap benefits of various types from it.

I am totally against paedos, say no more yet.

I am totally against homosexuals, say no more yet.

I am totally against criminals.

I am anti EU

I am totally FOR My great Britain

I am totally for looking after our own people first.

I hope this is clear.

Let us hope for interesting debate.

Paedophile Teacher's Abuse 'Led To Suicides'
An ex-pupil of the teacher described as "one of the most prolific sexual predators we've seen" speaks to Sky News.

A former student of paedophile William James Vahey has said she believes three of her classmates killed themselves after being abused by the teacher.

Alicia, who was taught by Vahey during the 1980s in Saudi Arabia, said she heard rumours about the teacher years after she left school.

"The rumours were, later on, when we would have reunions ... that certain people in my circle, there were three suicides of very popular students of his that were molested by him," she said.

"That was the rumour, and I cannot believe that this guy was still teaching students.

"That was the rumour: that Bill Vahey molested children and that ultimately three children had committed suicide as a result."

Asked to clarify the rumour further, Alicia said: "It's not a rumour. I mean, I know these people."

News articles like this need to be published as widely as possible for people to read so that there is no doubt that this has been happening behind closed doors and may well be still be going on. It's utterly disgusting and school authorities and parents need to be vigilant in looking out for people like these disgusting cretins.

So many of them seem to be getting away with these disgusting things. Parents and children have got to stop taking people at face value and go with their instincts. If they make you uncomfortable there is probably a reason.
