A man, XXXX, recently sent me his resume applying for a job at a school I help posted a job for. He claims that he currently works at a Language Institute in South Korea.

Upon investigation, I learned (just now) that there is a man named XXXX from XXX(same name and nationality of the applicant), who also has the same work experience who went to jail for child molestation.

Since I do not have the identification numbers of the applicant, I cannot confirm his identity. However, the evidence seems to warrant an investigation.

Who can I contact? What should I do?

I told my boss and he said he will send out the info to other schools but it seems someone higher up needs to know!

Share the information you have with that individual's embassy in Seoul.

Do some investigation. This could be just a guy with the same name. This has become a nightmare in the U.S. for muslim with the same name as people on a terrorist watch list. They are pulled out of line and grilled for hours because the have the same name.

Just do some checking. Ask for a police report from this person not unwarranted and do not hire until you are sure he is okay.

Don't make assumptions on a name.

You better be sure of yourself before you take it any further

- it's a fking heavy accusation.

(please don't take this as some pedo apologist rant, but if y're wrong you could cast a shadow over someone's whole career, no?)

Hey, Sherlock, just what kind of investigation did you do?

Agreed. "XXXXXX" is a strange name. Are you sure this person is from an English-speaking nation with a name like "XXXXXXXX" Laughing

If the guy is from the US, then you can look him up in the national sex offender registry. Match up the address in that registry with the home address he has listed.

OR

Call up the local law enforcement agency of where he was convicted. Tell them you are a school and that you think you have the guy applying for a position where there are kids. Ask them to fax/email the mugshot/picture.\

If this guy is seriously a child molester, then its very important that something is done about it.

Where do you find the time?

I'd let the police know, and immigration. Let them figure it out if it's him or not.
If it is the same guy, he probably served his time, but the chances of him reoffending are high. He shouldn't be teaching kids.

Many states (such as mine) have a sex offender registry site where you can look up a name and find a photo, what they did, where they live/lived, etc.

You should try finding something like that.

contact the police in america and ask them to confirm/deny it

if you contact the police in korea he won't get in just for being suspected, and even if you are innocent, being suspected of something like that is serious business, even in a case of mistaken identity
