A former Orange County man who fled the country four years ago while facing trial on child--pornography charges has been caught in Thailand, investigators announced Monday.

Weaknesses in the safety of the Thai education system have been exposed yet again as a second foreign paedophile has been found working for Potisarn Pittayakorn School, a government-owned secondary school in Bangkok, Thailand.

Potisarn Pittayakorn School is a government-owned Thai secondary school in Taling Chan District, Bangkok. The school accepts male and female students from M.1 to M.6 (approximately 11 to 18 years old).

The tabloid British newspaper The Mirror is reporting that Gary Robcoy has been deported and blacklisted from Thailand because of his conviction for child abuse in Britain. Robcoy was arrested at Potisarn Pittayakorn School where he worked as a computer science and EFL (English as a foreign language) teacher.

The following photo was retrieved from Gary Robcoy's hi5 profile. The unverified photo apparently shows Robcoy at an English language conference in 2003 (BE 2546).
