Willam James Vahey menjadi buruan Federal of Bureau of Investigation (FBI) dalam kasus pedofilia yang dilakukannya di sekolah berbagai negara. Dalam menjerat korbannya, Vahey yang pernah mengajar di Jakarta International School (JIS) ini memiliki trik tertentu hingga akhirnya para korban terpedaya.
Seperti informasi yang didapat detikcom dari website resmi FBI, [url=http://www.fbi.gov,]www.fbi.gov,[/url] Rabu (23/4/2014), Vahey yang berprofesi sebagai guru itu menjerat korbannya dengan cara mengajak mereka bepergian ke suatu tempat. Saat mereka lengah, Vahey lalu membuat mereka tak sadarkan diri dengan memberikan obat tidur. Saat pra korban sudah tertidur dan tak sadarkan diri, barulah Vahey melancarkan aksi kejinya.
Dalam data USB milik Vahey yang saat ini sudah berada di tangan FBI, didapatkan gambar para korban yang berumur sekitar 12 hingga 14 tahun terbaring tak berdaya. Dalam file tersebut, Vahey mengakui semua perbuatannya sebagai pelaku kelainan seksual dengan menulis secara lengkap lokasi hingga waktu pencabulan.
Vahey sendiri telah tewas bunuh diri pada 21 Maret 2014. Namun FBI tak berhenti melakukan penyelidikan untuk menemukan identitas siswa sekolah yang pernah menjadi korban Vahey. FBI pun berpesan untuk segera melaporkan kepada mereka apabila ada yang merasa pernah menjadi korban pelaku kelainan seksual ini.
Pria 64 tahun itu pernah mengajar sebagai guru di JIS dalam kurun waktu 1992 hingga 2002. Sebelum di JIS, dia pernah menjadi guru di berbagai sekolah di 9 negara lain seperti London, Saudi Arabia, Iran, dan Spanyol.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking the public’s assistance to identify alleged victims of a suspected international child predator. William James Vahey, a 64-year-old U.S. citizen, was a suspect in an international sex crimes investigation who committed suicide on March 21, 2014. His alleged victims were American and international students enrolled in private schools abroad where Vahey taught, beginning in 1972.
A USB thumb drive belonging to Vahey and provided to the FBI revealed pornographic images of minor males, approximately 12 to 14 years old, who appeared to be asleep or unconscious. The images were captioned with locations and dates that referenced places Vahey had previously traveled with students. When Vahey was confronted about the images, he reportedly admitted molesting boys throughout his entire life and said he gave the minors sleeping pills prior to the molestation.
FBI agents have reviewed photographs dating back to 2008 that depict at least 90 alleged victims. The FBI is seeking to notify individuals of the ongoing investigation and encourage additional alleged victims to come forward.
Vahey, who maintained residences in London and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, traveled extensively and internationally during the past four decades, working as a middle school and high school teacher at several American international schools in at least nine different countries. He taught history, geography, and social studies, and also coached junior varsity and basketball teams for boys. He regularly accompanied students on overnight field trips.
Between 1972 and 2014, Vahey was employed at the following schools:
American Nicaraguan School, Managua, Nicaragua: 2013 until March 2014;
Southbank International School, London, United Kingdom: 2009-2013;
