Four foreign paedophile suspects held in Pattaya
Four foreign paedophile suspects held in Pattaya
Thai police arrested four suspected paedophiles from Britain, Finland and the United States over the weekend at the notorious beach resort, initially charging them with abduction of minors.
Police said on Monday they arrested the four men on Sunday, after complaints from the Child Protection Centre of Pattaya.
They identified three of the men as British nationals Maurice John Praill and Stephen James Ellison, and American Glenn Richard Allen. They were detained at their rented flats in Pattaya, which has become notorious in the past decade for its nightlife and sex industry.
A fourth suspect from Finland was also held on Sunday, but his name was not immediately available form the Crimes Against Children and Women Suppression Division, which carried out the arrests.
Child pornography and video equipment for making more porn were reportedly found in the four men's separate apartments.
"We made these arrests by coordinating with the embassies of the UK, US and Finland, which have provided records on child abusers from their countries," said Pol Maj-Gen Kamronwit Tupkrajang, commander of the special police division.
All four suspects were initially charged with abduction of minors but may face further charges as the investigation into their activities in Pattaya unfolds, said Pol Maj-Gen Kamronwit.

So what about sex-tourists such as yourself?
Not that for a minute would I suggest that you are into young guys or at least not guys much more than 1/2 your age.

If my memory serves me correctly there used to be someone working for an International NGO supporting children posting to these board and practically everyone of his posts was attacked with some venom simply because he was an NGO worker and posters made it quite clear that they viewed NGO's as the lowest of the low and wished they would move out of Thailand.
I think that the atttude displayed made a lot of people who happened upon this board to wonder just why the posters would not want an NGO in town if they had nothing to hide or be ashamed of.
Yet a few months ago some of this board's members showed that they are concerned about the ill treatment / abuse / poverty of Pattaya's kids by supporting the Pattaya Street Kids' Support Project Charity Christmas Appeal.
I would suggest that it is only the few straights or gays that have something to hide that would rather not read of pedophiles being arrested in Thailand. I for one am delighted when these scum are caught and named and hope that the follow up publicity and treatment by their home press and legal authorities will bring them to everyones attention back home.
