In 2004, William John Creasey was found guilty on 13 cases of sexual assault, which included committing an indecent act with someone under the age of consent, as well as contravention of the Film and Publications Act.

According to the Daily Voice, “he was found with the largest stash of child porn ever in the Western Cape and was sentenced to six years in Pollsmoor Prison”.

In court, the former teacher blamed the child pornography found in his possession on a ‘paedophile friend’ who had lived with him prior to his arrest.

Then, back in 2011, two years after his release on parole, Creasey was found to have advertised art classes for children on Gumtree, using the name Paul Hamilton.

A Cape Argus investigation also noted that he offered “one on one private tutoring”, which was not a criminal offence, but did raise red flags about his behaviour.

You can read more on that investigation here, but let’s move on to events from this past weekend (Saturday, February 22), when Creasey was spotted on Rondebosch Boys’ High School property.

Two parents noticed the pervert taking pictures of the Grade 9 boys shortly after they were notified that he had been seen near the school.

Parents managed to snap a picture of the man and questioned him before having him escorted off the field by police.

According to parents who saw Creasey at the school, he could not explain why he was photographing the boys. He told parents he could not be arrested because he didn’t commit a crime when they removed from the field.

Following his conviction, sentencing and jail time served for child molestation and being registered as a sex offender, Creasey is not allowed to approach or work with minors under any circumstances.

The photo taken by the parents is featured above, but is cropped.

Here is the full image, showing Creasey with his camera:

Parents were alert to Creasey’s presence in the area thanks to an email the school had sent out, following a warning from a member of the Child Protection Unit:

Seems like he’s up to his 2011 ‘art lesson’ tricks again.

Western Cape Education Department spokesperson Bronagh Hammond says the department will seek legal advice on what steps to take next.
