BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police have arrested a 56-year-old American teacher after 500 photographs of naked teenagers were allegedly found during a raid of his Bangkok apartment, police said on Tuesday.
Police said the man, who they named as Steven Erik Prowler, had lived in Thailand for six years and taught English at a government school in Bangkok.
"During the raid, we found two teenagers who said they just had oral sex with him," Colonel Surat Udomrat told Reuters. The two were aged 15 and 17, police said.
In the apartment police said they found 500 postcard-sized photos of naked male teenagers, mostly Thais aged between 11 and 17. They also found journals detailing his alleged sexual exploits.
Police said they planned to file charges of sexually abusing underaged youths against the man later this week.
"Although the maximum penalty is 10 years in jail for each count, he has repeated his crime with hundreds of victims and these crimes would add up," Lt. Colonel Dhamnoon Munkong said.
The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok declined to comment on the case.

At first I thought this might be a professor I knew during my life in Japan. It isn't, but he was a huge fan of Thailand. Apparently, gay men that discover Thailand rarely vacation anywhere else. It is despicable and foolish (as AIDS is rampant there).

AIDS is rampant there because of the sex-tourists.
Pity, too.
The Thai are nice people.

If the Thai have him, he is unlikely to see the sun for several years...

This is Thailand. They’ll throw the ACLU attorneys down a well.
