Warning… Canadian Criminal Posing as a Teacher in Busan

My director asked me to hire a couple teachers. I get to post job ads, sort through resumes and do the interviews. I feel good that he trusts me to hire a competent teacher. With this is in mind, I easily posted an ad on pusanweb earlier this week. Then today I received an email with the heading from someone,

“Criminal Teacher in Korea: WARNING ALERT!!!”

Imagine my surprise when my first thought was the loser who worked with us for a few months, and to find out, I was dead on. It was none other than the jackass that worked with us in the summer and then was fired for kicking students and harassing coworkers.

Here are some highlights:

“To whom it may concern,

I am sending you a warning about a criminal teacher who has been in Korea for 5 years. He was recently fired from Kyungnam College of Information and Technology (KIT) in Busan, and will be looking for a new job. He was fired for failing to provide a valid criminal record (He handed in a forged criminal record.Before that he was let go from the EPIK program for misconduct.

Apparently he solicited sex from students, but the police would not press charges because the parents of the female students did not want their daughter’s names in the press. Prior to that XXX was at Dong-eui University, where he was let go after one year. In 2003 his teaching license was suspended in Ontario, Canada after he pleaded guilty to misconduct. XXX was alleged to have had committed sexual misconduct eight times with female students. He was also under investigation for criminal convictions of assaulting a police officer, uttering death threats, and resisting arrest.This basically means he will never be able to teach in Canada ever again.”

Whew! Okay usually I wouldn’t post something like this because you never know who the source is. But since I know this “criminal”, I have no doubt that every word in this email is legit. I am just glad that someone is circulating this email. This guy is a first class jerk. John says he remembers that all XXX used to talk about was sex and how to treat women. Besides the shoving incident with me, he was seriously messed up. All the Koreans thought so too. It wasn’t just his wife beating t-shirts that he wore everyday. He was really scary.

When I read that email, I felt really nauseated. Men like that make me sick. This is just more proof that Asia is a haven for losers and criminals (myself excluded).
