James Pilton has been fired from school administration positions twice while under investigation by his employers for sexually predatory behavior. In the first firing, in 2017, an administrator said Pilton was fired for “coercion and sexual exploitation” of a local hire. In 2022, a second school fired him four days into an investigation of sexual assault allegations. Four recruiting agencies, including leading recruiter Search Associates, have independently investigated him and banned him from their services. Other agencies have banned him based on the findings of the four investigations.
Pilton had written for The International Educator (TIE), the primary publication of K-12 international education. After discussions with Search Associates, TIE deleted Pilton’s articles and severed ties with him.
