THAILAND - It's been over a year since an international manhunt caught and arrested Christopher Paul Neil, who is now facing another jail sentence. The 33-year-old Canadian school teacher from British Columbia has been convicted of a second case of sexual assault in Thailand. The attack on a nine-year-old boy landed him five years in prison.He was first arrested October 19, 2007 by Interpol after a lengthy investigation that used complicated techniques to "unswirl" blurred Internet photos that showed him allegedly engaging in sex acts with young boys ages 13 and 9.
Back in August, Neil pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy, an admission that carried a three-year sentence. The 13-year-old and the nine-year-old are brothers.
Neil had been living and working as a teacher in Asia since 2000, including stints in South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
Back in Canada? Good riddance. Some of us would prefer to see sex offenders sent to a penal colony in the arctic circle.
