 |  The Crime of an English Teacher English Teacher in Cambodia sentenced to 10 years Due to the actions of one English teacher in Cambodia, disrepute has been brought to the ESL industry. Damien Walker, 26, an Australian English teacher in Cambodia was arrested and charged with debauchery in December and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Walker has not only brought shame to himself and his family, but also put a dent in the reputation of English teachers working abroad. The Sydney Morning Herald states: Walker had been teaching at the Light of Hope Children's Village, a school for orphaned and abandoned children in the capital Phnom Penh run by Christian education group International Children's Care (ICC) Australia, based in Warragul, Victoria. English teachers deal with a large range of student ages. From infants to senior citizens. Let's keep the slate clean and remain professional at all times both in and out of the classroom and adhere to local laws. |

| Re: The Crime of an English Teacher 10 years was his sentence in a Cambodian prison. He was also ordered to pay $3,000 in compensation to his victims. A very harsh penalty, but equally necessary. |

| Re: The Crime of an English Teacher This is not the first instance but recently many such cases. In US itself relationships between teachers and small students have been reported every now and then. |
