A teacher accused of raping and 비아그라 구입 molesting six pupils could escape extradition thanks to the European Convention on Human Rights.
Kevan Dooley, 69, left his native New Zealand and came to teach in England - only for the ‘extremely serious' claims against him to emerge after one of his alleged victims killed himself.
A British judge has ruled the evidence he fed male students drink and drugs before assaulting them is strong enough for him to be extradited.
But Dooley, who lives yards from a primary school, could yet successfully resist it thanks to the ECHR, which Conservative leadership candidate Robert Jenrick says should be abolished for giving too many rights to the accused.
The alleged rapist teacher not only denies wrongdoing, but says being forced to face justice in New Zealand would infringe his rights to ‘privacy and a family life' under Article 8 of the ECHR - despite having no family, few friends, and not much of a home in Britain.
The claims against Kevan Dooley, 69, (pictured) who lives yards from a primary school, only emerged after one of his alleged victims killed himself
Evidence that Dooley plied pupils with drink and drugs before assaulting them was deemed by a judge to be strong enough for his extradition
Simply making the claim, albeit dismissed by the judge, means his case must be referred to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who is now considering it before he can be put on a plane.
The case also raises questions about international cooperation by police - with no action taken for 비아그라사이트 years after the allegations were made in New Zealand, leaving Dooley teaching maths to young boys in south London's Archbishop Tension school until made redundant in 2015.
While there he said he needed police protection after getting a child expelled for allegedly threatening him, and signed off sick complaining ‘very noisy classes triggered his tinnitus'.
He was subsequently arrested by the Metropolitan Police in 2021 after a young homeless Iranian refugee he let stay at his flat claimed he raped him. He was never charged.
And it was not until last year that Dooley was finally arrested over the string of allegations in his native New Zealand dating back as far as 1988, with his sex attack said to have continued until shortly before he left for England in 1997.
Westminster magistrates court heard in September that the New Zealand police investigation into the abuse claims began in 2008 after one of his former students killed himself.
Before his death he told his mother he had been sexually assaulted by his former teacher and basketball coach at Rangatahi College in Murupara on New Zealand's north island.
After she told police, two other students also came forward to detectives and accused Dooley of exploiting them.
Outside view of the European court of Human Rights (ECHR). Dooley is able to resist extradition thanks to the ECHR
By then he had been in England 비아그라 구입 for more than a decade and, according to court papers, ‘the police did not think that the offences merited extradition proceedings'.
Yet the case was reopened in 2016 after the same mother looked at Dooley's Facebook page - and mistakenly thought he was back in New Zealand.
She then provided police with further details of yet more alleged victims.
One alleged victim was reportedly raped and sexually assaulted, aged as young as 14, after he fell asleep during ‘parties' at Dooley's home between 1991 and 1993. Another said he was woken to be raped, aged 15.
Dooley is said to have told one appalled young ‘victim' that he just ‘really liked cuddles'.
All the alleged attacks took place at his house or in a motel, often while victims slept after they had been encouraged to drink or smoke cannabis.
But the investigation was left to a single detective and it took years for charges to be laid against Dooley and an arrest warrant issued.
An extradition request was eventually sent to the National Crime Agency in Britain two years ago before he was captured in London in May last year.
In court Dooley's lawyer argued on his behalf not only that there was no case to answer as the case had been left so long, but also that extradition would infringe his ECHR rights to ‘privacy and a family life'.
It was claimed ill health also meant he should not be forced back home.
The court heard that in London he smoked cannabis smoker and successfully demanded Viagra from the NHS to maintain his sex life.
Ruling that Dooley should be extradited - but subject to a final ruling by the Home Secretary - district judge Grace Leong ruled: ‘The alleged offending spanning over a period of 8 years against a number of students where the RP was a physical education teacher and a basketball coach at the college is extremely serious.
‘The RP either encouraged or permitted students to smoke, take cannabis or drink to excess in his house.
‘The RP clearly took advantage of each Complainant when each either was asleep or had fallen asleep after being drunk.
‘The Complainants were also staying at the RP's house or in a motel with him in one case. They were vulnerable not just by reason of being drunk or asleep but they were in the Defendant's charge at the time.
‘He has not established any lasting relationships or friendships in the United Kingdom. He does not have any dependents in the United Kingdom. He does not even have a permanent home'
Even if the Home Secretary does rule he should go to New Zealand, Dooley will be able to appeal.
Approached at his flat Dooley told the Mail: ‘I'm fighting the extradition.'
