Sex Offender Teacher Busted By His Pupil
Do you wonder sometimes where are those criminals or convicted felons that are deported back to Trinidad and Tobago from the US? They're in our midst, some of them teaching our children.
PUPILS at an all-girls prestige high school busted a biology teacher who took up duties last week, revealing that he was convicted in the United States a few years ago, on charges of sexually assaulting five of his female pupils.
The sex offender managed to slip through the cracks and landed himself a temporary job at the prestige school after a female biology teacher went on maternity leave.
He was hired for a three-month period after he was interviewed and the school's management was very impressed with his credentials.
The school teacher, who is 32, but was 25 when the offences were committed, according to the New York Times, was convicted and sent to jail for four years after he pleaded guilty on charges of sexually assaulting five pupils of the Cathedral High School, Manhattan, between 2005 and 2007.
The teacher, who was deported back to Trinidad after serving his sentence in a Manhattan jail, was busted by a Form One pupil at the prestige school who decided to Google his name through the internet. To her amazement, several stories, including images of her school teacher, popped-up, indicating that he was convicted of crimes against female pupils in the US.
The pupil immediately printed some of the documents and took them to the principal who did her own internet searches before summoning the teacher to her office. He was later told that his services were no longer required and escorted out of the school's compound by the principal.
The Sunday Express understands that the teacher was hired last Tuesday and sent packing by the school's principal two days later.
In 2008, the teacher pleaded guilty on January 8 to second-degree r-pe, third-degree r-pe and s-xual abuse involving pupils at the all-girls US school.
