The hunt of the pedophile seen sexually abusing young children in newly unscrambled pictures has reached a new milestone as the police investigating this case identified him as an English teacher, who might be somewhere in Thailand.

This wasn’t just a rumor. According to Interpol’s statements, five different sources from three continents identified him as teaching in a school in South Korea. After approximately 350 people worldwide contacted Interpol about the suspect, the English teacher’s name, nationality, date of birth, passport number, and current and previous places of work have also been established.

His picture was captured by security cameras as he was on his way from Seoul to Bangkok via airways. The Interpol released his picture hoping that more people will respond to the unprecedented global public appeal released last week and their info about the suspect will eventually lead to his capture.

"The response and contribution we have had from the public has been remarkable, as has the support from the media, which has enabled officers in our specialized unit, our office in Bangkok and police in other member countries to make such remarkable progress in such a short space of time," said Ronald Noble, the secretary general of Interpol.

Interpol also said in its statement issue last week that the suspect had appeared in 200 images on the internet sexually abusing young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia.

The first picture of the suspect was found three years ago in Germany. Those pictures were digitally altered in order to cover up the man's face with a swirl pattern, but computer specialists at Germany's federal police agency, the BKA successfully collaborated with Interpol's human trafficking team and managed to come up with images that could lead to the identification of the man.

The Interpol has a database of 520,000 images of child sex abuse submitted by 36 member states in connection with Operation Vico, as they codenamed the search of the pedophile because of the links to Vietnam and Cambodia.
