Default UK School Confirms US Paedophile Abused Pupils



A prolific paedophile who taught at a London school was a "very popular" teacher who never showed any hint of wrongdoing, the school's chair of governors has told Sky News.

Sir Chris Woodhead confirmed pupils had been abused by William James Vahey, a 64-year-old American who taught in schools around the world.

British detectives are helping an international investigation into the scale of his crimes.

Vahey killed himself in a Minnesota motel room on March 21.


[Vahey worked at the UK school from 2009-2013, teaching history and geography to pupils aged 11-16.]

[It said some of the victims may not realise they were abused because they were unconscious at the time.]


Due to him giving them sleeping tablets

Moral Dilemma - should the Police risk telling abuse victims they were abused as some of the victims were unconscious at the time.

Should they refrain from informing these people they actually were abused because without any knowledge of it they are not technically victims in their own minds. But to inform them could run the risk of making them victims.

So is ignorance bliss in this situation ?
