[6] He also coached basketball and led school trips to Bahrain, Turkey, Africa, Costa Rica, Nepal, Panama and Jordan.

[9] In March 2014, he was confronted about obscene images of boys found on his flash drive by an administrator of his employer, the American Nicaraguan School.

[2] On April 22, Metropolitan Police officers raided Vahey's residence in north-east London, where they found a laptop and 11 more flash drives.

[11] According to Scotland Yard commander Graham McNulty, "a significant number" of parents of Southbank students told officials they did not want to know if Vahey had molested their children.

[12] After Vahey's long history of child abuse came to light, Gloria Doll said that he had become "famous for wanting to lead student experience trips", and that this was the reason many of his previous schools hired him.

Three of the school's employees wrote an anonymous letter stating that Doll, after acquiring Vahey's memory stick, fired him but still let him go home.

[15] An investigation by barrister Hugh Davies, the interim findings of which were released on July 31, 2014, concluded that Southbank International did not properly address concerns about Vahey's behavior while he taught there, and that they failed to take references before offering him a teaching job.

According to the BBC, another stage of the investigation is under development, and will focus on "the recruitment procedure when Vahey was hired and how incidents concerning his behaviour were reported.

[18] On June 22, 2014, The Observer reported that the parents of about 60 children believed to have been abused by Vahey while he taught at Southbank had sued the school.
