BANGKOK, December 22, 2010 (AFP) - A British man wanted in the UK for molesting children as young as 18 months and selling images of the abuse online has been arrested in Thailand after over a decade on the run, police said Wednesday.

David Charles Taylor, 66, fled to Thailand in 1998 after British authorities found tens of thousands of pornographic pictures of children on his computer.

Thai police, who made the arrest early Monday in Nakhon Ratchasima, 260 kilometres (160 miles) northeast of Bangkok, suspect he continued to abuse boys when he arrived in the kingdom.

"He sent back footage to the UK and his conspirators there created DVDs and sold them over the Internet," immigration police officer Colonel Wiwat Khamchamnan said.

Taylor is wanted in Britain on suspicion of molesting boys and girls aged between 18 months and 12 years old, then selling pictures and video of the attacks online, Thai police said.

He was originally arrested in Leicestershire county, in central England and charged with 35 counts of child molestation and dissemination of child pornography, police said, but escaped to Thailand during the investigation.

The British embassy in Bangkok confirmed it had contacted immigration police about the case and the Thai criminal court issued an arrest warrant on December 3. British authorities will apply for extradition, a spokeswoman said.

Why did it take over 10 years to issue the arrest warrant? When did the British find out he was here?

[neverdie]

The Thai Police need to quickly build a case around this guy, so he can perhaps rot in the very worst Thai prison rather than head back to mother england & be given the treats of free public defence & an endless waste of taxpayers pounds whilst he exhausts ever legal avenue in the british system .

The british could throw the Thai govt a few hundred baht each year to house this disgusting grub. I mean if the Thai police suspect he continued to abuse whilst here, whats going on with that?

[nigelnigel]

So why is it they are always found in Thailand? and why is it that it is a known place to run to? Feed him to the sharks!

Thank you for your post. You hit the nail on the head!

Why not take a holiday while we investigate this: "He was originally arrested in Leicestershire county, in central England and charged with 35 counts of child molestation and dissemination of child pornography, police said, but escaped to Thailand during the investigation."

It does beggar belief that this sicko can avoid any form of immigration or residence checkups in 12 years of living here - unreal!

Nasty, digusting events and too often, reported people like this seem to gravitate this way to LOS and SEAsia....go figure.

What the hell are they doing prosecuting him in UK? Please conclude investigation of the more recent issue of these documented Thai abuses as a result of which, hopefully, he will be separated from his balls in a more appropriate manner. I look forward to seeing the event on face-book, arse-book or whatever.

Well his going to be segregated unfortunately

[ryladie99]

One down and how many child molesters need to go? You are Right about Human Rights in foreign jails but, what about the Right of the children who are suffering? My take and opinion.

[reason1]

My problem with this is Wikileaks is accused condom event x2 gets jail before strict bail and this A'hole is accused of kids molestation x 35 and goes on holiday from 98 until now! That's British Justice for yer

Oh that's far too logical for most authorities!

Please note: The following comment only applied if this person is actually found to be guilty.

If Thai investigators do a little bit of creative investigating, perhaps they would find out he has sadly infected some of his young innocent victims with HIV (he would need to be found to be positive) then perhaps he could be tried for pre meditated murder, then if found guilty would receive the death sentence here and not before he gets plenty of abuse from other inmates who generally find this kind of crime very disgusting. (Dont think anyone would object to that)?

AGREED!

[keymaker]

Very disgusting guy he doesn't deserve freedom.

How many innocent kids have been infected by this bug?

And I don't believe that UK Authorities weren't able to track this beast, he continued sending porn material to his inmates in UK's prosperous market where they've been selling to rich people.

The clients must be very important so it's better not to investigate!

[venturalaw]

Cheers to the Thai police for finding him in less than 3 weeks from when the arrest warrant was issued. Hope that they do keep him here. The treatment in a Thai prison is what he deserves.

Thats the difference between Political favors and the 'real' justice system.

[sydneyjed]

Seems to be averaging one a week at present..Will they extradite him or is this the last we'll hear of it?Back in Australia for Xmas and even they have got problems with child pornography being found to have been downloaded from the offices of State Paliament!!!Surprise,surprise ,they have decided not to investigate any longer...and wait for it...not bring in the police!!!!(I kid you not!!)Corruption is alive and kicking (along with N.S.W State parliamentary low life scum!)Laws...for whom??? Absolute joke and they think we'll buy it...wrong!!!

Probably not always found in Thailand. Who post in Thaivisa all the busts in the other countries of Asia?

[sydneyjed]

After reading how many have been arrested..Doesn't it strike you how many of them are in positions of trust and power.A conincidence?

[scotto]

What a sick bastard

hope he gets what he deserves

these people should not be in any society!!!!!!!!

makes me want to puke!!!!!

[midas]

The part i dont understand is how these people can still travel

internationally even after being charged considering all the computerisation today ?

For example, I assumed that the pictures taken of us all by immigration at

checkpoints were part of an elaboratecomputerised data base

so why can't they have some kind of data entry which immediately

warns the immigration office of the status of people like this ?

Why cant they be placed on some kind of " no fly " list ?

I dont see there is any excuse these days for people to be still be able to

abscond to Thailand and continue to live under the radar for so many years.

I reckon the best way to deal with this guy is go through the courts here and if guilty a hefty time in the monkey house and then proceed with the extradition where hopefully he will get a few more years, and going by his age hopefully he will spend the rest of his days off the streets, of course I could suggest things much more severe but its not allowed on this forum but I guess most of you will know what I mean.

Assuming this guy is guilty, let's show some compassion, too. Anyone who is sexually attracted to an 18 month old baby needs some help as well as some prison.

[RedNIvar]

18 months old!!!!!! This is one real sick puppy. If ever there was a case for genital removal, this would be it. Dratsab.

Build a very large microwave, with glass sides, as well as a glass door...

Think of the environment.

Solar oven would be nicer....place in pre dawn, watch the sunrise.

You think this guy needs compassion- well what would you do if you caught him red handed -fondling your 2 year old son-and taking photo.s.=== 1, suggest he should see someone .2 tell him he,s naughty and not to do that. 3. buy him some viagra........................Yes he needs help-sharp shock treatment, something thats so bad he would never think of going near a minor again. Something as bad as this, he should have had his passport confiscated in the first place, it should be standard proceedure.

If it was Cambodia or Vietname he'd probably not even be caught...
