Better be beaten up behind bars.

I often heard Rapists and other sexual offenders were Worst Hated even among criminal convicts.

 

And often face lynch  inside the wall(common in US and Australian prisons).

Agree! Never said he should be isolated from gen. pop

There is no immigration check when leaving the US.

 

Only thing that would prevent it would be if passport had been seized. This is sometimes done at arraignmrnt if the perdon is considered a flight risk  but being "wanted" does not mean an arraignment took place. Likely he skipped the country before that occurred.

Or land border to Mexico. 🤔

If he is fbi-wanted. How could he be let out of the US to begin with?

 

The USA does not  screen when leaving. Only people on the do not fly list will  be flagged at  checkin. Unless his passport was cancelled, he can travel.

I love how this article focuses on "Foreigner overstaying visa arrested..." rather than that a pedophile and child porn purveyor had been loose in Thailand.

He has been charged with the visa overstay in Thailand. The offence has been proven.

 

He is wanted in the US for the more odious charges, not arrested or charged yet. That will happen on arrival in the US.

 

There's no evidence that he committed any of the more serious criminal acts in Thailand.

 

I trust you can now appreciate why the media chose not to sensationalize the report

Because he was busted  breaking the Thai laws in a Thai jurisdiction.

I still think the Thai police were watching him due to a tip off from the FBI. Never really heard of Thai Immigration putting overstayers under surveillance. How ever they got him, good,  another scumbag off the streets!

OMG, yet another Quality Tourist from United States? Stricter visa rules are required, especially for nationals of certain countries like United States, Russia, Ukraine, China, UK, Poland, Romania, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Belarus, Korea, Uzbekistan and some other countries. Visa free scheme should be abolished for those countries. A proper entry visa should be obtain prior to entering Thailand in their home country including criminal background checks and possibly mental health check-up.

 

 

I am curious.  Are you a Thai citizen or a citizen of another country?

 

If a citizen of a country different than Thailand, what country would that be?    

 

If you are in Thailand and are from another country, what are the visa requirements for you to enter and stay in Thailand?
