US sex offender caught
Police yesterday arrested an American teacher who had been on an international blacklist for his previous sexual crimes against children.
Christopher Paul Brainerd, 47, was arrested at a school in Bangkok's Tha Phra area.
He entered Thailand in May, 2010. Before that, he served a fiveyear jail term in the US after a Hawaii court found him guilty of sexually abusing children. He has been on the Interpol black list.
Thai police are now preparing to deport Brainerd.
