There is a good website that works to keep foreigners who are pedophiles from working in Korea. I personally think we need more of this kind of vigilance to keep the children safe. It's a very interesting site.

I think that ALL people working with kids should be scrutinized - not just foreigners.

I don't think there is a sex offender database for Korean criminals that is publicly accessible. What about in English or Japanese as many governmental websites have now?

After that little girl was raped by a Korean man and lost 80% of her intestines in the act, Korean lawmakers said they'd make some kind of database.

I still CANNOT get over Korean law:

I'm drunk as hell and never fiddle with kids. Why would drinking make you a kiddie fiddler?

I think people in general who wish to EVEN have children should be scrutinized, interviewed and then let the government decide if you are suitable to be a parent or not.. also goes for raising domestic pets!

pedophiles can find children if they need to, I guess its like a drug they are on. they will get that hit...but lets keep them out of Korea. jeezzz keep them out of anywhere..... personally I think we need to throw out the bait and catch all these sickos and lock them up not only for our childrens good.. but for them too.. they are sick! and they need to be in a mental hospital..
especially the ones who prey on kids under 10 years old . These guys should just be shot...

I feel like we need to bring back public executions! we can put it on cable or something.. PAY PER VIEW you know...

I hear where you are coming from and you do make a good argument. But one thing that we all need to consider is that many pedophiles that have a criminal record, manage to get their names changed and voila! No record anymore. Then they go and teach abroad. That is part of my concern.

There are many victims that are terrified of approaching the authorities. Many pedophiles tell their victims: Who is going to believe you? You are only a child. It's sad, but true.
Here is a case of an alleged pedophile:

http://www.rjkoehler.com/2007/10/16/wanted-pedophile-taught-english-in-south-korea/

Yonhap reported on Oct 12 that an American English teacher was charged � but not detained (!) � for sexually molesting a 6-year-old girl during class at a Seoul English school for children.

The guy is suspected of having placed his hands up the little girl�s skirt. The teacher vigorously denied the charges against him, but prosecutors submitted as evidence CCTV footage. Or so reported YTN.

Prosecutors initially asked for a detention warrant, but the court turned it down, saying � and sit down for this � that the client wasn�t a flight risk.

I�ll say that again � the court turned down a detention request for a guy allegedly caught on tape sticking his hands up a 6-year-old girl�s skirt because the suspect � a foreigner, no less � WASN�T judged to be a flight risk.

WTF? And judges wonder why someone might want to shoot them with a bow and arrow�

I remember reading that as well... and wondered what happened with it. I seem to recall a few years back another accusation against a (Korean) American that was supposedly trumped up from the parents.

Until it goes to court, it's really hard to put stock in an accusation.
