   An elite London school has become embroiled in an FBI-led   
   international child abuse investigation into a highly regarded   
   teacher who is believed to have molested more than 90 boys.   
      
   William Vahey, a 64-year old American who taught at the   
   Southbank International School in Westminster between 2009 and   
   2013, killed himself in Minnesota in March after confessing to   
   drugging and molesting children while on field trips.   
      
   He had been found with a memory stick that contained sexually   
   graphic images of at least 90 boys who appeared to have been   
   drugged. They were catalogued with dates and locations that   
   corresponded to his overnight field trips with students   
   beginning in 2008 when he was teaching in the Escuela Campo   
   Alegre in Caracas, Venezuela.   
      
   Southbank's chair of governors, the former chief inspector of   
   schools, Sir Chris Woodhead, said the school was "deeply, deeply   
   shocked" by the FBI's announcement of the suspected mass crime.   
   The fee-paying school is used by foreign executives and   
   diplomats. Vahey taught boys aged 11 to 16.   
      
   Southbank's chair of governors, the former chief inspector of   
   schools, Sir Chris Woodhead, said the school was "deeply, deeply   
   shocked" by the FBI's announcement of the suspected mass crime.   
   The fee-paying school is used by foreign executives and   
   diplomats. Vahey taught boys aged 11 to 16.   
      
   Woodhead confirmed Vahey took part in several field trips while   
   at Southbank and said parents at the school were last night   
   showing "considerable concern".   
      
   The school is planning to either hold a meeting or will write to   
   parents within 24 hours about the crisis. Families are also to   
   be offered psychological counselling.   
      
   The FBI said that Vahey was jailed in California in 1969 for   
   child molestation, but Woodhead said that nothing showed up on   
   criminal record checks or references taken in the UK and abroad   
   by the school, where Vahey had taught history and geography.   
      
   Scotland Yard is helping assess the FBI's intelligence about   
   "potential alleged offences against children in London". The FBI   
   said it was trying to identify the dozens of children pictured   
   in the photos.   
      
   Patrick Fransen, an FBI special agent, said: "He had access to   
   children because of his position of trust. The manner in which   
   he committed these acts – while the boys were unconscious – may   
   have inhibited them from knowing what happened, making it   
   impossible for them to come forward at the time of the   
   molestation."   
      
   As well as teaching in London, Vahey also worked in schools in   
   Caracas in Venezuela, Jakarta in Indonesia, Dhahran in Saudi   
   Arabia, Tehran and Ahwaz in Iran, Athens, Madrid and Beirut,   
   during his career in education. The FBI has urged anyone who   
   believes they may have been a victim to come forward.   
      
   Vahey was working in Nicaragua when he was exposed in March by   
   his employer who discovered the digitised images, the FBI said.   
   When confronted about the images by a school administrator, he   
   confessed he was molested as a child and had preyed on boys his   
   entire life, giving them sleeping pills prior to the   
   molestation. Within days he killed himself.   
      
   "This is a completely shocking revelation," said Woodhead. "We   
   are co-operating with what is now an international police   
   inquiry. We are supplying the police with all the information   
   they want; trips Vahey took and so on.   
      
   "When he was appointed we ran a criminal records bureau check   
   and again three years later. In each case there was no cause for   
   alarm. "We took three references [from previous schools], two   
   from Venezuela and one from Jakarta. All of the references were   
   very positive and said he was an outstanding member of staff.   
   They said he was very willing to take school trips but with what   
   we know now that is not as positive as it was when we read them."
