Jakarta (B2B) - Jakarta International School (JIS) menyatakan akan bekerja sama dengan Biro Intelijen Federal (FBI) Amerika Serikat dalam memburu William James Vahey, seorang mantan karyawan JIS pelaku pelecehan seksual.

"Kami baru-baru ini memperoleh informasi dari sekolah internasional yang berada di Caracas, Venezuela mengenai penyelidikan yang dilakukan oleh Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Amerika Serikat. Setelah memperoleh informasi tersebut kami segera menghubungi pihak FBI untuk melakukan verifikasi," kata Kepala Sekolah JIS Timothy Carr melalui keterangan tertulis di Jakarta, Kamis.

Carr juga memastikan yang bersangkutan adalah seorang mantan karyawan di sekolah bertaraf internasional tersebut.

"Bersama ini kami mengkonfirmasikan bahwa tersangka adalah mantan karyawan Jakarta International School yang berhenti pada 2002," katanya.

"Masalah tersebut saat ini sedang berada di bawah penyelidikan pihak FBI. Kami akan bekerjasama sepenuhnya dengan mereka. Sementara itu kami juga akan tetap fokus dengan situasi yang saat ini masih berlangsung, termasuk keputusan penutupan sementara sekolah `Early Childhood Program` kami," katanya.

Berdasarkan catatan FBI, Vahey pernah menjadi pengajar di JIS selama sepuluh tahun atau dalam kurun 1992 hingga 2002. Dia juga mengajar sejumlah sekolah internasional di beberapa negara sejak 1972.

FBI menyatakan Vahey terlibat kasus pedofilia merujuk pada bukti berupa foto-foto porno para siswa lelaki berusia 12-14 tahun yang diabadikannya. Foto-foto tersebut tersimpan di media simpan USB Flashdisk miliknya.

Foto-foto tersebut telah diberi lokasi dan tanggal merujuk pada sejumlah tempat yang pernah diajarnya.


Jakarta (B2B) -  The Jakarta International School (JIS) stated that it will cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) in tracing the sexual abuse case of William James Vahey, who had worked for the school in 1992-2002.

"We had received information about the FBI investigation relating to sexual abuse in one international school in Caracas, Venezuela. We had contacted the FBI to verify the case in the JIS," the school head master Timothy Carr stated in a press release received here on Thursday.

He also said Vahey was an employee who worked for the JIS. "We had confirmed that Vahey was a former teacher in the JIS who stopped working in 2002," he added.

According to several foreign media channels, Vahey had killed himself on March 21, 2014, after the FBI started the investigation.

According to Carr, the FBI is investigating the sexual abuse case and the JIS will fully cooperate with the officers.

"Meanwhile, we will still focus on the current condition that hit our school, including the temporary closure of the Early Childhood Program," Carr said.

The FBI noted that Vahey had worked for the JIS in 1992-2002. He also taught in several international schools in different countries since 1972.

The agency stated that Vahey was involved in pedophilia after the FBI found pornographic photographs of teenagers 12-14 years old in his flash disk.

Vahey gave time codes and locations that refer to several schools that he taught in before.
