In this Thursday, May 8, 2014 photo, a security guard stands at the entrance of Jakarta International School (JIS) compound in Jakarta, Indonesia. U.S. citizen William Vahey taught here from 1992-2002. Vahey began his international teaching career with a series of stays around the Middle East and Europe, and by 1992, Vahey and his wife moved to Indonesia. He was one of the most beloved teachers in the world of international schools that serve the children of diplomats, well-off Americans and local elites. That was the public persona of William Vahey until a maid stole a memory drive from him in November. On it was evidence that Vahey molested scores of adolescent boys, possibly more.
