Paul Meekin a British national who is a former principal of a Bangalore school, accused of sexually harassing children has jumped bail.

Meekin who was the principal of an international school in Bangalore was arrested in January in 2012 on charges of "inappropriate conversations" with a seventh standard student. It was alleged that Meekin sent lewd messages to a child on social media site.

However Meekin was convicted, but not under section 23 of the Juvenile Justice Act (cruelty to a child) and Section 67 of the IT Act (publishing obscene information in electronic form) but for fraud as police realized that he does not hold a Ph.D, which he was claiming to have.

He served a sentence of 13 months of imprisonment and walked out on bail on March 1, 2013.

His trial under Section 23 of the Juvenile Justice Act (cruelty to a child) and Section 67 of the IT Act (publishing obscene information in electronic form) are still pending. After the issuance of two arrest warrants, he has failed to appear in the court as he is missing.
