BC Man Gets 5 Years In Thai Jail For Sex Abuse

It's been over a year since he was arrested and now Christopher Paul Neil is facing another jail sentence.

The 33-year-old British Columbia school teacher has been convicted of a second case of sexual assault in Thailand. The attack on a nine-year-old boy landed him five years in jail.

He was first arrested October 19, 2007 by Interpol after a lengthy investigation that used complicated techniques to "unswirl" blurred Internet photos that showed him allegedly engaging in sex acts with young boys.

Neil was not extradited to Canada.

Back in August, Neil pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy, an admission that carried a three-year sentence.

The 13-year-old and the nine-year-old are brothers.

Neil had been living and working as a teacher in Asia since 2000, including stints in South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
