January 17, 200719 yr The following appears on PATTAYA DAILY NEWSs: http://www.pattayadailynews.com/shownews.p...NEWS=0000002275 _____ ALLEGED BRITISH PAEDOPHILE SLIPS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL VETTING NET Alleged British child rapist, Sean McMahon, 45, of Torquay, Devon, was working as an English teacher in a Bangkok international school when he was arrested at his home in an apartment on the northern outskirts of Bangkok on Monday evening, at the request of the British Embassy. He had apparently been under surveillance by the Thai police for some time. After a similar case involving an American teacher who had been jailed for abusing teenage boys in 2006, the new case reveals that Thai educational vetting procedures of foreign teachers are not sufficiently stringent. McMahon had apparently skipped bail in the UK where he had been accused of raping an eight-year-old girl between 1997 and September 1998. He failed to show in court in 1999 after he was charged for the alleged offence. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said today, Tuesday, that McMahon had been detained in Thailand and was remanded to appear in court. "The suspect will be repatriated to England to face the charges in accordance with the extradition treaty," Thai Police Lieutenant-General Kamronwit Thoopkrajang confirmed.
