British Pedo in Thailand for 25 Years

[GinBoy2]

I just watched this BBC program on a UK pedophile who lived in Phuket for 25 years.

 

It was apparently a pretty high profile case after he jumped bail and fled after getting a passport under an assumed name.

 

He led a pretty open life, never tried to hide, in fact Tim Newton was interviewed and said he was very active in the community.

 

Now Newton can be forgiven, he's Australian, but surely given the fact this guys face was plastered over British media not one UK resident on Phuket recognized him in 25 years!

 

Somehow beggars belief

Oh come on, folks read newspapers from their home country and a lot of Brits would have moved to Phuket after 1997 and would have had plenty of exposure to the case on TV in the UK

He's been living under a different name since the 1990's.

Never heard of him ........and I have been here (where the subject matter is more likely to be aired) for nearly 20 years and there for 48.

As this was a VERY BIG story on this forum back in March this year and you were a member back then, it just proves how unobservant people can be!

I'm not a Brit so probably didn't take much notice of it back then, it wasn't until I watched the documentary that it seemed incredible that he could have lived alongside so many Brits in Phuket without being caught

Hope they get their “due process “.  A shank in the heart.

 

One of the benefits of California's Prisons.  ChoMoes don’t last long.

 

Thailand most likely more liberal.

Yes, the feminazis who now run the BBC never stop agitating against men.

Pedophilia is a crime against defenseless children. What does it matter who calls out such "men"?

What does it matter who fuels pedohysteria since everyone does?

Only trained observers can commit a face to memory from a photograph. All he needed to do was lie low for a while until there was no more publicity and then ease his way into the community, using his assumed ID of course. He was clearly a very remorseful chap.

 

I did like the comment by the judge when it was pointed out that Burrows will probably die in prison. -  "I don't suppose there'll be anyone who'll mourn that."

You have a serious problem with your moral compass.

I'm thinking better to be safe than sorry in this type of case. One victim is one too many.
