I bet the sex was great tho...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2320217/David-Lee-Clayworth-Teacher-says-career-ruined-ex-girlfriend-stole-posted-naked-pictures-online-said-sex-underage-students.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Teacher says his career is ruined after ex-girlfriend stole his computer, posted naked pictures of him online and said he had sex with underage students
Lee David Clayworth dated Lee Ching Yan for several months in Malaysia
She 'broke into his home, stole his laptop, shared nude pictures of him online and emailed his friends to say he'd slept with underage students'
He won defamation case against Yan but she has not stopped
Clayworth, who lives in Canada, cannot get an arrest warrant for her as the case was won in Malaysia and she is now in Australia
A Canadian teacher has claimed that his career has been ruined because his ex-girlfriend refuses to stop posting naked pictures of him online and calling him a pedophile.
Lee David Clayworth, 35, from Vancouver, has been relentlessly cyber-stalked and harassed by Lee Ching Yan, whom he dated for several months while working as a teacher in Malaysia in 2010, he said.
He claims that after ending the relationship with Yan, she broke into his apartment, stole his laptop and uploaded naked pictures of him - which she had previously taken - to 'cheater' websites.
He has been applying for jobs since January and has received no positive responses - and he is certain it is because of the online posts and pictures.
Despite winning a defamation case against Yan, many of the sites are still active. They show pictures of a nude Clayworth beneath headings including 'child lover' and 'pedophile'.
'Would you want this man to teach your children?' another reads.
Yan also allegedly hacked into his email account and, posing as Clayworth, sent messages to his contacts 'revealing' how he had sex with underage students, CBC News reported.
The harassment has been relentless - with her posting hundreds of comments on social networks such as Facebook, accusing him of vile, criminal acts, and claiming that he cheated on her.
'I did a Google search of my name and I saw profiles listed saying I am a psychopath, I am a child molester, a pedophile, I am involved with my students and so on,' he told CBC.
Clayworth, who returned to Vancouver in January after his contract with the Malaysian school ended, said the treatment - and his struggle to remove posts from the web - has left him unable to get a job.
'I feel not only shut out of my own profession - but any job I apply for,' he said. 'It's a very, very dark place to be... and I am powerless.'
He believed there was some hope when a judge in Malaysia found Yan guilty of defamation and ordered her pay him the equivalent of $66,000 in damages in 2011.
Yet even this did not stop her, Clayworth said, as she left court and immediately began posting more pictures and comments.
The judge then ordered her to be jailed for contempt of court but she fled the country.

In an unprecedented move, the court also told search engine providers Google, Yahoo and Bing to block Clayworth's name from search engines, but the companies have said this is impossible.
'Even if we did remove the name it would not make the content disappear from other places on the web, since Google�s search results are a reflection of the content and information that is available on the web,' Google spokesperson Wendy Bairos said. 'Users who want content removed from the internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly.'
Clayworth said he has also gone done this avenue - getting mixed responses from webmasters - but even when the posts are taken down, Yan will just put them back up again.
He has even gone to Vancouver police, in the hope of getting an international arrest warrant for Yan.
But authorities said they are only able to get a Canada-wife warrant for the arrest - which is useless as Clayworth believes she is in Australia.
Det. Mark Fenton said he understood Clayworth's frustrations.
'The internet and society has moved at such a fast pace, that government and law enforcement are unable to keep pace,' said Fenton. 'This is a huge mess... and it feels awful.'
For now Clayworth said he can merely continue to contact websites, search for jobs with good references from previous posts - and warn students against the memory of the internet.
'Everything that was digital and saved in my life - whether it was in the hard drive or laptop - is just at the disposal of this woman,' said Clayworth. 'It will never stop... it will go on and on.'

I wonder how many people are deleting saucy photo's of themselves after reading this
I've googled myself sometimes ! and been surprised how much info there is of me out there. Companies that have put my CV online without my permission and haven't removed it when I've asked them to.
Plus some websites that seem to do nothing but provide information about...everybody. Old addresses and job history there for anyone to look at.
My family name isn't a common one so I do show up quite easily. But considering that I don't do anything to actively promote myself there's a heck of a lot of info about me online. It's definitely something to be wary of.
Watch out for bunny boilers too. |

Ok, but why is anyone keeping naked photos of him/herself on his/her computer anyway? |

Dear Wilsonthefarmer,
Easier to just look in a mirror, wouldn't you say? Not too many of us look all that good in the nude, anyway .
Regards,
John |

I don't know if I'm proud or ashamed to say that I don't have any naked photos of myself, as far as I know, no one else does either. In fact, I believe that the only pictures of me on this laptop are from Christmas from several years back and a trip to Torun, Poland I guess I haven't lived. |

There are several wall posters of me available, pointing to the bright Utopia just on the horizon. I am fully clothed though, in a respectable three-piece. Nudity is just too bourgeois. |
