Australian wanted for sexual abuse of minors TIRANË - A family monster who fled Australia was able to work as a “teacher” in Albania for 3 years. Philip Bell, 61, accused and wanted in his homeland for sexually abusing minors, hurriedly disappeared on Thursday from his latest home, Tirana, leaving behind alarm, disillusionment and protest among the teaching staff and pupils of the school he had deceived. “He manipulated us, and what is worse, the Albanians,” Thomas Ballantine Dykes, secretary of Language Schools in Albania, tells Gazeta Shqiptare. And after this, the chilling accusations from the distant continent are joined by suspicions that he also sexually abused Albanian pupils—the man whom the Australian press has described as a “monster devil” and who is under investigation by the royal commission.
