It's not like he's the only kiddie fiddler ever, and like what's-his-face said, they're ten-a-penny in Thailand. So why has Interpol decided to go for this particular nonce?

My reckoning? They're showing off the 'de-swirling' photo technology as a warning to all the other internet paedos.


Are you friggin' kidding me?

Okay, rule #1: Don't put your ______,____________.____________ pictures on the internet.

This guy should go to jail on a guy-who-supposedly-had-a-brain-and-finished-university-retardation-conviction. Again, screw him.


Screw him indeed, but he's not alone in the putting-his-abuse-photos-online thing.


I see your point.

Vicissitude thanks for the insight. Just my first impression of the guy.

Christoper Paul Neil makes it in Wikipedia.com

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Paul_Neil

Quote:
Christopher Paul Neil (born 1975 in Canada) is a suspect in an Interpol investigation of the sexual abuse of at least 12 young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia. Neil, a Canadian national, allegedly appeared in over 200 photographs depicting the abuse, which surfaced on the internet and led to a worldwide manhunt known as Operation Vico. The face of the abuser was obscured by a digital swirl in the photographs, but German computer experts at the Federal Criminal Police Office were able to reconstruct the original picture, using techniques which they have not revealed but are believed to have been as simple as running the transformation in reverse.[1]

Several of these reconstructed pictures were posted on Interpol's website and led to over 350 people contacting the organization, five of whom identified the man as Neil. Neil was working as an English teacher in South Korea, but had traveled to Thailand at the time of his identification. As of October 16th, 2007, Neil remains at large; according to Thai police he is assumed to still be in Thailand[2][3][4][5] though some reports say he has gone to Vietnam




Some reports say he has gone to Vietnam? I doubt it.


He has a different appearance in every picture that has been released.

It's like looking at Jacques Mesrine's old passport pictures.

As Eyeball said and I've said elsewhere, there is a strange element to this situation. My feeling is that the police have not spent the last 3 years looking for this guy as claimed. They probably just got around to doing the deswirling, it really can't be that hard. Perhaps an intern at the place had some free time and gave it a shot. But now it is an international manhunt. As well it should.

But, there are obviously well know sex spots in Thailand and elsewhere where police can walk in and bust 20 people doing the same thing.

Is the fact that pictures were posted online add to it?
If it were underage girls would it be less shocking?

Well known spots in Thailand where many guys are in there raping young children from the age of six years old? Videos and photography as souveniers? I definately don't think so! Either you don't know what you're are talking about or you are involved with some real underground activities that I don't even want to hear about.

What's your point? Actually, this story doesn't shock me. I'm shocked that other people are shocked. I guess there's a lot of people out there who aren't very familiar with what goes on in the sex slavery business in Asia. The whole business survives because of men like Chris Neil. I'm sure there are much worse than him out there, but I will not get into that right now.

I'm so glad we appear to be under-condemning the guy because of others' actions, especially considering that our forum is under scrutiny by who knows for stupid comments like (some of) the ones I've read on recent pages.

Brilliant! And, thank you especially, Spliff...our creepy, tireless and needing-a-life Thai correspondent.

I've never been to Thailand, Cambodia, etc...

So I have no idea what i am talking about. Other than the fact that while watching CNN today the journalist was walking around some part of Thailand known for the sex industry with local police heading the investigation and passing out flyers/pictures of this guy. They interviewed, on camera, a guy, who the reporter said operated one of these "bars," and the owner said, "yes, he was here a few months ago."

Now, in 3 weeks time, police can go in there and bust several people doing the same thing.

That was my point. But, it doesn't or won't happen.

My point is that it is a witch hunt in this case, which as I said, it should be.

The real point is that it should be a 365 day witch hunt, and sadly, it isn't.

Something about this case sparked the media attention.
I think it had something to do with the cryptic swirly face.

now a question... If police raided or simply walked into a club in this area of Thailand and found some guys having sex with underage girls, would they face 20 years/life in prison?

Do the police actually do this?

Guys, I have a feeling he was in and out of Thailand in under a day or two. If you read his myspace page, you'd probably figure him for going to Cambodia.

Thailand was merely a bridge. That's my 2 cents.

No, they don't care...so in a way, I sort of ackowledge others' points about it (aside from the 'this is insignificant due the the pervading and tolerated circumstances' slant).

That said, this mofo needs to be locked up, NOW. If I could lend a hand, I would, but I can't.

That wasn't my slant.

It's not acceptable. That isn't what I'm saying.

This story is 10 times worse than anything I've read come out of Canada:




Quote:
Teachers seem to be the newest subset of Western men who travel to Asia to have sex with children, part of an even larger group of men traveling to the region to engage in sex with adult prostitutes.



Quote:
"The vast majority of English teachers are not pedophiles," said Dexter Lewis of Search Associates, a company that places qualified teachers overseas.


(As if to imply that a minority of them are, rather than a handful!)

Quote:
"I am having a wonderful time with them sexually," one teacher writes. "Last night four boys spent the night and I like all four of them. � I pay $1 if they give me a massage and $2 if they give me anything extra."

Congrats. you just wasted 2 minutes of your life being an idiot.
Maybe even 4 or 5, considering the capitals, and the minutes pondering how many exclamation points would really bring this post home.

grow up.
