'mr Swirl' Jailed For Child Sex

[Boater]

A PAEDOPHILE dubbed Mr Swirl smirked as he was jailed yesterday for abusing a boy aged 13. Vile Christopher Neil, 32, obscured his face with a digital swirl in hundreds of internet pictures of him raping boys.

Cops unscrambled the Canadian teacher’s features and Interpol finally arrested him after a tip-off led them to Bangkok — where Neil was living with a “ladyboy”.

He was caged for three years and three months in Thailand after admitting he forced the boy to perform a sex act on him. He also has to pay £1,000 to the lad’s family.

The sex fiend smiled as he was led off, but then whined: “I’m zero, I’m nothing. What can I do?”

Neil is also accused of abusing the child’s little brother, which he denies.

He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of claims he paid the nine-year-old £15 for a sex act.

Ronald Noble, of Interpol, praised the success of the investigation, saying: “We’ll use all available legal tools to track down predators.”

Sick smirk ... Paul Neil

Paedophile faces new Thai charges

BANGKOK: -- Convicted Canadian paedophile Christopher Neil has appeared in a Thai court on a new count of child abuse.

He was brought to the court from the Bangkok jail where he is serving time for another child sex conviction.

He denies charges of sexually abusing a minor, videotaping the alleged abuse, taking a child without parental consent and holding him against his will.

Police first arrested 32-year-old teacher Neil in October 2007 after a global manhunt.

Neil arrived at Bangkok's Central Criminal Court on Tuesday wearing brown Thai prison uniform and chains on his ankles.

He held up a magazine in front of him to hide his face from the media.

The child involved in the latest case was nine years old at the time of the alleged abuse, and says Neil paid him $15 to $30 for sexual acts with him in 2003.

The boy is the brother of a child Neil admitted abusing in an earlier case.

Photos unscrambled

Neil was sentenced to three years and three months in jail on that charge.

The international police agency Interpol sparked a worldwide manhunt when it launched its first global appeal in October 2007 for information on the suspected paedophile.

Interpol appealed for help after experts unscrambled digitally distorted photos of the suspect.

Neil was arrested soon after a 17-year-old Thai youth told the authorities the suspect had sexually molested him several years ago.
