Important Notes:
I introduce myself, Sofia S. I am taking over this site from Emily, who has been the main person who decided which accusations are placed on the site. She has decided to stop this work on this site, as she is close to a victim of James Pilton and has had difficulty dealing with his machinations. I have experience with many websites about sharing unbiased important information about the war in Ukraine, and in this way truth about rape has become a topic I care about. My work is in Ukrainian and Russian. I have worked professionally in English, but I seek a person to volunteer to improve my English. I have a generous donation of legal advice. I would appreciate donations for funding the costs for this site and for three more and also for the costs of fact checking information. There are accusations in the email records of Emily that were not included in this site because they were not easily verified. I will seek evidence of those.
For now there is a new accusation that I am trying to confirm at tltguesthouses.com. Also there is the newer accusation related to students in the yellow note below this one. I have been able to confirm the statement below that three students made this complaint to a teacher and then to the board of the school. Also that James Pilton was fired immediately after this accusation was explored by the board.
I have also seen and verified official court papers that detail a forceful assault against a drunk woman. I will continue to avoided revealing the names of the survivors and sources unless they write specifically that they can be identified.
I will leave this site as a record of 2022-2025, though I will edit notes like this one. I will edit this site to stop the use of triggering words. There are complaints of this in the email records which were not addressed.
In this transition James Pilton will always have the opportunity to deny and provide evidence against these accusations.
On September 26th we received a very disturbing accusation of inappropriate behavior with students, including one grooming element that is shockingly similar to another accusation that has never been shared publicly. If you have information that could be useful to us, please use the contact form to alert us. You can remain anonymous, if you prefer.

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.
