Just go to any school and talk to the Thai teachers and they will tell you many stories about English teachers that come for the children not to educate.

Wonder if T & T includes a child molestation module in their teacher-training course - this is becoming pretty sick.

Surely not the incarcerated lottery winning pedo who said he was heading this way upon release? If so, his 400-500 mn bt + investment income over the past coupla bull market years should give him a ton of protection here, and even more across the border.

OUR GOVERNMENT COULD HAVE JAILED HIM BUT DIDN'T... WHY?

It is scandalous that Bower was allowed to stay in Cambodia after his initial arrest and continue teaching in a school

HANDCUFFED and shamed – this is the moment fugitive paedophile copper Ian Bower was arrested in Cambodia for paying kids for sex.

Bower, 46, a former special constable from Nottingham, was nabbed on a charge of sexually abusing six boys aged between 11 and 16.

The vile pervert was seen showing pornographic photographs and molesting boys shortly before his arrest near his grotty apartment in Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh, according to investigators.

Police confiscated the mobile phone he allegedly used to play the porn but Bower managed to shred his memory card before his capture.

Last week Bower, who has been on the run from British police for five years after failing to complete a sentence for other child sex offences, appeared in court and was remanded in the country’s Prey Sar Prison.

It is the second time he has been charged with child sex crimes over there.

Bower fled a bail hostel in Derby in 2006 after being released on licence for abusing kids and downloading child porn and was allowed to head straight to Cambodia, a notorious hotspot for paedophiles.

Within months he was charged with paying youngsters as little as 50p to perform sex acts on him. He was later released after the court dropped the charges in 2007 because of a lack of evidence.

Cambodia-based child protection group Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), who were involved in his prosecution, says he simply paid off his alleged victims.

Astonishingly, Bower was allowed to remain in Cambodia and continue working as a teacher for the Cambodian Air Traffic Control Service.

Shamefully, the British Government failed to secure his deportation so they could put Bower back in jail here, even though charity bosses begged the Home Office to take action.

Investigators in Cambodia claim Bower continued to abuse kids after his release, leading to last week’s arrest.

APLE, which has conducted a four-year investigation into Bower’s activities, says he has “continued to prey on young children but he was cautious enough to manipulate his victims to prevent disclosure”.

Last night the Government was facing questions from child protection campaigners as to why it failed to bring Bower back after his original prosecution collapsed.

Christine Beddoe, director of children’s charity ECPAT UK, said: “It is scandalous that Bower was allowed to stay in Cambodia after his initial arrest and continue teaching in a school.

“The catastrophic result of this lack of action is that children were put at risk and he is now up on more child sex abuse charges.

What does this say about the lack of controls in the UK preventing sex offenders from travelling and failing to do more to bring them back to Britain when they are caught?”

Bower escaped to Cambodia after he was released early on licence from a three-year and nine-month prison sentence and placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register.

He had served time for a string of child sex offences, including indecent assault on a male under 16, two acts of gross indecency with a child and downloading scores of indecent images of children being sexually abused.

During his trial, the court heard that Bower had spent hours on his computer after moving in with his then girlfriend and her two children in 1999.

The couple separated in July 2002 and police later examined a computer found at his mother’s home. They found 38 indecent images of children and two films of boys performing sexual acts.

Another 91 images of children were found to have been deleted but were recovered by the Computer Crime Investigation Unit.

In September 2007, ECPAT UK wrote to the Home Office, warning of the “unacceptable risk to children” that Bower posed.

The letter stated: “It is quite frankly an embarrassment that at a time when the Cambodian authorities are becoming more effective at prosecuting sex offenders that it remains the fault of the British authorities to not have adequate systems in place to protect vulnerable children.”

A month later a Home Office minister responded that the UK had no formal extradition treaty with Cambodia but said the relevant UK authorities had been “continuously and extensively involved” in the case of Bower.

British criminals can, however, be deported from the country.

Last month Welshman Nicholas Griffin was brought back to Britain after serving a year’s jail term for abusing youngsters at a Cambodian orphanage.

He was immediately arrested on arrival at Heathrow airport on suspicion of sexually abusing a youngster while working as a scout leader.

If they couldn't convict him in Cambodia, how the fuck can they convict him in England? NO EVIDENCE YOU THICK TWATS.

Now THAT is the fucking problem!

Maybe Britain should follow America's example (for once we have it right). You can spend about 10 minutes online with numerous websites and find any pedoor other sex criminal who was convicted in an American Court. That might not stop a school in Cambodia from hiring one, but it would be the schools fault, not ours.
The ridiculous idea that convicted pedos have any right to privacy concerning their convictions is as stupid as verbal speech hate crimes or arresting burglary victims for defending themselves and their property. What is wrong with the once great British legal system?

^ Well said that man ! er ,,,,,,, we have the PC brigade here mate , coupled with your Uman rights ,,,,,,it's all a bit complicated

WHen was it great? It is certainly quick, tough and hard hitting but it has been far from impeccable.

The problem with american's example is that they have some very strange ideas as to what makes a person a perditory pedophile that society need protection from. Like:

People who get drunk and urinate against walls
Under age children who take naughty pictures of eachother
Under age chilren having sex with eachother.

I wonder what persentage of td's mebership has urinated in public, played dr and nurses as a child or simply engaged in sex whilst they were under age. And how many of these people pose a risk to children?

You have a good point, the laws I have seen only applied to felonies and excluded more normal things like soliciting an adult prostitute, but a law that is too draconian could ruin someone's life wrongfully

^worse than that. I did hear a radio documentary about this where a police officer was explaining the difficulties they faced using megans law to protect their communities. He explained that less than 5% of the people on the list were or could be considered at risk of becoming predatory pedophiles that posed a risk to the community and his force lacked the resources to sort out the wheat from the chaff and more importantly fund both their obligations to monitor the whole list and then provide the really intense monitoring you would want on those who do provide a risk.

I cannot find a transcript or a reference to this 5% figure, so please feel free to treat it with some sptisim. One thing I find striking is the lack of statistical evidence after 15 years of meggan's law to demonstrate its made america a safer place. I've seen a we bite that claims to have the details of 500k americans on the register. that would be 1:250 americans...... if these people were prolific sexual offenders, just imagine how much crime there would be.

Megan's law has degenerated from a tool to enhance child safety, to a tool that prosecutors use to black mail guilty verdicts and vindictively enhance the punishment of those they feel deserve more punishment than the law allows.

The uncomfortable truth is that children who are abused and murdered suffer at the hands of their parents and close relatives; in comparison predatory pedophiles are a rarity.
