No charges placed against former priest who took teaching job
A follow-up report in NY’s NBC News observes that a man fired for teaching despite having a criminal record for sexual abuse in the United States could be back at the job soon. NBC says that 47-year old former priest Hadmels DeFrias in theory could seek another job at a private school in the Dominican Republic.
When he was fired, he was teaching English at the Colegio del Caribe in Punta Cana. NBC aired he had been banned from working with children in the United States. Authorities at the school said they did not know about De Frias’s criminal record when hiring him at the school. The school promptly fired the teacher as soon as the story broke on NBC News.
NBC interviewed Ministry of Education officers and was told that the case was closed against De Frias after he was fired from the school, but nothing impedes him from finding another job in the country where he does not have a criminal record.
