FBI: 100s Have Contacted Us About Pedophile Case

The FBI says hundreds of people have contacted it about a teacher suspected of drugging and molesting boys during a four-decade international teaching career, greatly expanding the potential number of suspected victims.

The FBI said last month that William Vahey had molested at least 90 boys, whose photos were found on a memory drive stolen by his maid.

The bureau said Tuesday that it has now "been contacted by several hundred individuals from around the globe."

Vahey killed himself at age 64 after evidence of child molestation was found on one of his memory drives.
