Don't you get it? He's committed a crime outside the workplace. How could the employer be held responsible?vladimir wrote:SP, could it happen in the US? The guy would not even have been here if his employer had done even a cursory check.I agree outside of his workplace is stretching it, but try explaining to the traffic police who was in the wrong next time you have an accident with a blind drunk truck driver going the wrong way down a one way street. The issue is not so much where these alleged incidents took place as if this sod had been checked he would never have been here in the first place. A common perception in SE Asia is that it's always the foreigners fault because if he was not here, the accident/incident would not have happened. Explain the stupidity of that to them, not me.Sok Poupe wrote:Dude, get real!

Can I tell traffic police to go sue my boss the next time I get stopped?
It's not really a sensitive topic to me any more than convicts guilty of other crimes working for schools is. The criminal record check is the issue.
The individual is responsible for his actions, not the employer/ family/ peers/ household pets.
Don't diffuse or obscure the question of who's to blame, because the next thing is that the perp will say it's not his fault, but the employer's because he didn't check!
What's next? Should the employer ensure that all workers pay their road tax? Should they also check that the worker visits his grandmother once a month? Changes his underwear? Brushes his teeth?
PS, I don't know about the US, and I definitely don't take that country as the standard for my life.
The topic or post you are looking for does not exist.
after reading this article, it sounds like a set up job to me. Anywho, i am just puzzle why the idiot let the boy in to stay in the first place.

SP, my point is that they screwed up by not checking. They should be accountable for the fact that a criminal is employed, agree that they cannot be held responsible for what happens outside the workplace.Unfortunately at the moment there is no compulsory criminal record check, so employers just let it go.My idea is to nail the guilty guys and the employer for not checking. Unreasonable?
I'm not trying to diffuse responsibility, I'd be happy to see all the guilty guys swing, everybody knows that.I do want employers to be more responsible, they have to do something, a state-private enterprise partnership, otherwise this crap will never stop, and making employers responsible for not checking should be a part of it, don't you think?
Don't get on too high a horse over the US, I was only using it as an example of a very litigious society, no love lost between Republicans and me, at least.

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

Paedophile ex-cop jailed in Cambodia
A former special constable from Ilkeston, on the run from UK police, has been jailed in Cambodia for sex offences against children.
Ian Bower, who was working as an English teacher in the south-east Asian country, is said to have paid his five victims, aged between 11 and 15, as little as 8p each for sexual favours.
Bower, who had previously been convicted of sexual offences against children and downloading child abuse images at Derby Crown Court, was branded a ‘dangerous man for children’, by the victims’ lawyer, according to local paper The Phnom Penh Post.
Now a charity aimed at ending child sex tourism has claimed it warned the Home Office Bower would strike again.
Christine Beddoe, director of ECPAT UK, said the organisation was ‘appalled’ at the UK Government.
“Innocent children were abused because the UK was unable or unwilling to seek the removal of Bower from Cambodia,” she said.
“Bower is a wanted and dangerous criminal in the UK – he now should serve his sentence in Cambodia and face the full power of the British courts when he returns.”
She said that the 47-year-old should be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and be banned from travel outside the UK.
Bower was convicted at Derby Crown Court in September 2004 for offences against children and downloading child abuse images.
He escaped from a bail hostel in Derby in 2006 and fled to Cambodia where he was arested in 2007 for sexual offences against children who he was teaching English.
The charges were dropped when the two victims withdrew their allegations.
It was at that time that ECPAT UK wrote to the Home Office warning of the ‘unacceptable risk to children’ that Bower posed.
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 Ian Bower.
Bower was sentenced to two years in jail on Monday July 16 and given a fine equivalent to $1,000. He must also pay $500 in compensation to each victim.
His lawyer said he will appeal the sentence.
A spokesman for Derbyshire police said the force will arrest him on his return and ‘seek to deal with him quickly through the court system’.
I used to notice the looks when I went out with my GFs daughter,now I don't give a fuck..
There are so many barangs with Khmer or half Khmer children nowadays.
