I understand the comment about why the urgency with the westerner....LoS has its fair share of homegrown sick pedos but some of them get away with it with bribes and Wais....catching any westerner makes for good press with international coverage. 

Maybe so, but it still took a year and he had time to do several teaching jobs and even produce a child of his own.
With solid charges to face back in US and no doubt pressure from there, was there reall much undue urgency.

Not a very smart pedophile at it either, you want to  evade

capture you can easily run away to a neighbouring country and

not to Samui the idiot.....

Sounds like he came in from Cambodia so presumably he already tried that?

[Kerryd]

It wasn't really "urgency" on the part of the police as this guy (Hall) has been in the news for months. The ex-husband (Mr Beetge) of the Thai woman (Nittaya) gave the police some current information as to the whereabouts of his ex-wife, which led the police to her. She then told them where Hall had moved to.

From what I can glean from old stories, Hall has been in Thailand since at least April of 2015 (when it is thought he had started the relationship with Nittaya). He had been arrested in Alabama in sometime earlier in 2015 for raping and sodomizing a 5 year old child.

 

Amazingly, he was out on a measly $50,000 bail. He then acquired/stole someone else's (Tyler Smith's) passport and ended up in Cambodia before crossing into Thailand (apparently on 6 Oct). 
(Maybe he met Nittaya online and started a relationship with her months before actually entering Thailand ?)

The previous story on TV was from back in March 2013 (https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/973284-thaivisa-exclusive-missing-thai-girl-is-“protecting-us-teacher rapist”/)

He is in Bangkok now being taken around to the places he was living. That is the exact apartment that I told police I suspected him of being at when her one of my ex's friends contacted me asking about a reward.

I'm really happy with the result. The person on the inset of the picture is me, not Jackson Hall. It's terrible editing by Thai Visa and I hope they will correct it by placing Hall's image there, as I have supplied plenty.

Will the real Mr. Smith please stand up.

No he was in Cambodia first. Applied for a job with Nittaya in March 2016. Came over to Thailand to work for her and they started their relationship. She stole her friend's credit card and ran up charges of over 150000 Baht and they moved to Laos in June 2016 and then to Cambodia in July 2016. They came back to Thailand in October 2016 when he worked at a school in MapKha, Rayong.

I would like to.cave his head in honestly

[oxo1947]

Look at him signing those forms in the Video...... just a minor detail they didn't think to make public,... that would have ruled out 90% of the worlds population, and may have alerted any school he was teaching at.......

No one who rapes a 5 year old child deserves to own a pair of balls. Castrate him.

Because he is a pedophile working as a teacher. Would you be happy to have a pedo child rapist in charge of your son or daughter?

Hopefully this time he will be shot while trying to escape or accidentally fall out a window....30 floors up.

Good...they like pedophiles in US prisons....he won't have a good holiday at the Gray-Bar Guesthouse

One of the mrs old customers (she is a teacher) got arrested last year and was given 22 years for sex with a 14 year old and a 15 year old, filming and distributing.  Dobbed in by an ex the FBI waited until he landed on US soil before getting him rather than asking Thai Police to arrest him. He will probably die in prison, good thing too.

How can you tell? His image has been obscured. It's not the cop in the foreground.

I hope not, a few years in a Thai prison would do him the World of good.

On the receiving end for a change would be an ideal arrangement, and then handed over to the US authorities.

It does sound like they got this one right

Amazing how quickly they can move when they want to

The face in the circle on the right in the source article is probably Tyler Doran Smith whose identity he has allegedly stolen... While the face of handcuffed guy taken care of by the police is pixelated, so hard to say...

Good question indeed!

Yet another farang paedophile in Thailand.

 

Not even the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

It is me :-( Thai Visa cropped it out because it was confusing without linking to previous articles.

Hahaha and still wearing the same style of pants he wore at the English camp he did in Rayong.

Good news he has been caught. 

Struggling to see what his style of shorts has got anything to do with it unless they were  what helped catch him. 

[Mrjlh]

Here's an US news article about him.  http://www.cullmantimes.com/news/man-wanted-on-child-sex-abuse-charges-suspected-of-fleeing/article_7cb91e0e-98ad-11e7-80cb-6f9dea65e2f6.html

Are you serious???  He is wanted on multiple very serious felony charges including raping a child.  The man is a pedophile and has apparently been hiding out here for almost A YEAR!  That's not very urgent they should have caught him a long time ago.  I hope they keep him here and stick his ass in a Thai prison.  "Why such urgency" you gotta be kidding!!!

[SpeakeasyThai]

Raping a six year old boy? (!)

I can't even begin to imagine the effect this will have on the the kid growing up and throughout his life.

Words fail me. 

[Jim7777]

I'm glad they caught the SOB I hope he rots in prison for life.  What are people talking about regarding his face?  His face is blurred out in this picture. Are you kidding?
