I lived in VN for over two years from 2004 - 2006. I believe I have seen him in Vietnam before but never worked with him at any one school. His pictures on the newpapers and various websites look awfully familiar to me, but can't recall anything about the monster.
It's been reported by Korean news agency that he has worked for Ho Chi Minh Korean School in district 7 in 2005.
Anyone knew him or has anything to say about the pervert?

Pedophile identified after unprecedented worldwide hunt
October 16, 2007 - 6:24AM
A suspected pedophile sought in an unprecedented worldwide Interpol manhunt has been identified and is believed to be in Thailand, the international police organidation said on Monday.
The man, his face digitally disguised, was allegedly shown sexually abusing young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia in images posted on the Internet.
Police succeeded in recreating an image of his face from the photos and, thanks to tips supplied by people who responded to Interpol's appeal for help, identified him as an English teacher who worked at a school in South Korea.
"Thailand is at the centre of an international manhunt, and authorities in the country, in cooperation with Interpol and police around the world, are hunting him down," Interpol's secretary general, Ronald Noble, said in a statement.
Interpol said it now knows the suspect's name, nationality, date of birth and passport number, although it did not release that information in its statement.
It said the the man flew from Seoul to Bangkok last Thursday, with security cameras documenting his arrival at Thai immigration. Interpol again appealed for public help to track him down.
It said more than 350 people worldwide contacted Interpol in response to its appeal for help last week.
At that time it alleged that photos showed the man abusing 12 boys, apparently ranging in age from 6 to their early teens.
The man's face was disguised in those photos as a digitalised whirl. But German police managed to unscramble the photos. Interpol released four reconstructed photos of the suspect in hopes that someone would recognise him.

Update: He has been caught and will face justice in Thailand.

The suspect, Christopher Paul Neil, will be brought to Bangkok later today.
The arrest came a few days after the suspect's image was splashed across media reports around the world.
Interpol released images of the alleged child molester, which were taken from Internet pictures that had masked the suspect behind a digitally created swirl.
Interpol investigators were able to use new technology to alter the image to allegedly resemble the original images, which they then released to the international media.
Thai police issued an arrest warrant on him on Thursday for kidnapping, illegal detention, and of molesting a 13-year-old Thai boy, four years ago.
Interpol tracked him from South Korea where he was an ESL teacher in Kwangju Foreign School. It asked cooperation from Thai police after he arrived at Bangkok this month.
Western media reported that Neil worked as a chaplain from 1998 to 2000 at an air cadet summer training centre in Nova Scotia and that his duties included spiritually advising children ages 12 to 18. No complaints were brought to commanding officers about Neil at the time.
Police allege the suspect has been going around the world preying on young boys and taking pictures of his encounters.
They allege he would then post the images on the Internet after digitally altering his face. Police have about 200 photos of a man with a dozen boys posted on the Internet in 2004, but likely taken in 2002 and 2003.
Interpol believes the photos were taken in Cambodia and Vietnam.
Fellow ESL teachers told Associated Presse that Neil made frequent postings to a popular online forum called Dave's ESL Cafe under the pseudonym "Peter Jackson."
More than 300 postings under the name Peter Jackson were erased shortly before his disappearance, the Associated Press reported.
