American Sex Offender Mark Lucius is Working at BIA in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

My question referred to the person posting it on a forum rather than choosing a descrete approach (edit... obviously not all on forums are good)

Well, he was free to roam and abuse when he had the job at BIA. Now if anyone google the name Mark Lucius this thread comes up.

But you are a smart man and get the argument he/she has made.

pczz wrote: Tue Feb 12, 2019 12:44 am Really this stuff should never be posted without talking to the professionals. APLE and CCF and proabably a dozen other NGO's and agencies are out there catching these people and blurting it all out over a forum may fuck up their work if a bust is imminent. There is little they can do with no evidence of any wrongdoing and they might have him under surveillance already. it is even possible the reason you are getting the runaround from the embassy is because he is under investigation. lets say he is involved in a pedo ring and they are monitoring him and collecting evidence on who he associates with etc as part of a bigger operation. You could blow it so please put it through the proper channels. Any big busts going on CCF or APLE will know about it almost for sure
He was identified back in September as a convicted child sex offender teaching children at a school in Cambodia. I'm merely asking if he's still working there, five months later. That's a bad question to ask? We should keep teachers' child sex offense convictions private in case APLE is investigation them? APLE has no way of knowing if a teacher in Cambodia is a convicted child sex offender unless someone tip them off, like if they read it here, for example.
Please read my message before replying. I did NOT say do not report it, what I said was talk to the professionals. If you call APLE on CFF and they know about this guy then he is being investigated. if they do not know about him then you have informed them and they can take the appropriate action. I know its a hard concept but if he is involved in something bigger and he becomes aware he has been spotted he may well stop and go somewhere else before the authorities have enough evidence to arrest him and all the other people who may be involved. Some or all will get away to start again somewhere else. It is normal practice for police forces to keep a low profiel during investigations unless there is an immediate risk, so they can observe, collect evidence and take out the whole gang
I get your point, but public awareness is often better than 'possibly' thwarting a 'possible' investigation. And he was actively teaching children at a school, and if I were parents I'd be very thankful it was brought to public attention, as it seems it caused the school to get him away from their children.

^and he ends up at another school. So only a case of 'not my problem' rather than any real solution

At another school who does no background check, clearly.

So, we could have NOT let it be published, and he can stay at the school he was working at, and probably harder for other schools to find out much about him.

Or....

We could let it be published, where it seems it likely already caused one school to let him go, and hopefully other schools will likely be more aware now. And who knows how many other schools didn't hire him.

How is this a 'not my problem' scenario?

Unfortunately I have no more information. I heard that about 3 months ago. It took that long for BIA to actually do something.

I think posting it here was a good idea after alerting the Embassy. Perhaps I put too much faith in the Embassy. It gave exposure to the problem but, as mentioned above, it was not a permanent solution. It just forced him from the city to a place with where he may be able to blend in easier.

You missed out the option presented by pczz.
Edit...and overlooking some details. No, I won't take the time to say what details. A person can either read and comprehend or not
