Swedish Man Arrested for Thai Pedophilia

THAILAND: -- According to several Swedish news media's a 65 year old Swedish man has been arrested for sex crimes against children. The crimes supposedly occurred during his many vacations in Thailand.

The Thai authorities have been investigating the Swedish man since 2007, and according to Thai media the man, who is a doctor from Stockholm, has practiced his crimes until his arrest. One of the victims is reported to be only ten years old.

The Swedish man was arrested in Prague after the Thai police issued an international arrest warrant.

The Thai Police are demanding that the 65 year old is to be handed over to Thai authorities, where he is to face trial in Thailand.

There is no news on how the Swede pleads to the charges against him.

The Swedish doctor has allegedly hired a Swedish as well as a Czech lawyer.

Huh! Imagine that

[samsiam]

Just 5 years of investigation.... including how many kids......

[phuketrichard]

took them long enough,

how many should not have had to suffer casue of this??

[Sayonarax]

Five years to investigate... or it took you five years to get off your behinds and do some police work?

[Thai at Heart]

Obviously a new man on the block didn't get his cut.

Investigating since 2007? Must be an open a shut case then.

[DP25]

Headline is wrong.. He wasn't arrested in Thailand, he was arrested in Prague based on a warrant from the Thai police.

[ginjag]

Stupid sick man,  Do the police want him here because he will have dosh--doctors are not short of a bob.  Or they want to show to the world that Thailand does NOT put up with sex no matter what. Child and adult prostitutes are illegal here, and they will not allow it to start.  Regarding the silly old perverted-addicted Swede-get him by all means-and convict him

[laurentbkk]

good job I hope he rot in bangkok hilton ....

[DocN]

...and now you have another 10 years, to clean up the brothels where thai men...ah...never mind!

[hgma]

I would say......a 5 year job to investigate suggest that he was OUT of the country.

a simple sting, like a month ago with the suspect in the back of a car with a minor would have concluded he was elegible to face court.

IF it was a suspected crime comitted 5 years ago in thailand, i wouild say..................

Thank you Thai police for showing every culprit in this "field" that only time expires, NOT the crime.

[Jessi]

Get him back to Thailand so the BiB can make some money.

[theblether]

There is a proper nasty streak through all of these threads. The Thai police investigated his crimes and issued and international arrest warrant which was enacted in Prague. I say

Well done to the Royal Thai Police!!

I hope this case gets plenty of publicity as the word has to get out to Paedophiles worldwide, your time abusing Thai kids is up.

[samsiam]

your time abusing Thai kids is up.

In circa 5 or 6 years....

[saengsureeya]

...and now you have another 10 years, to clean up the brothels where thai men...ah...never mind!

[JeremyBowskill]

vile scum, hope he dies slowly of something horrible!

[JeremyBowskill]

Not a huge fan of the police in general but credit where credits due these poor officers who investigate scum like this have to sit through hours of filth while invistigting and I can only guess at some of the horrible crime scenes ect that they have to visit, taking into account that most of these officers probably have kids of their own it must be a really hard job to do. Well done for a job well done.

[GentlemanJim]

You lot complain when they don't catch them, then complain when they do, its like listening to Stadler and Waldorf sometimes. The police got him, Justice has no expiry date.

vile scum, hope he dies slowly of something horrible!

old age! (in the BKK Hilton)

Seriously if he is guilty then he will find sympathy in the dictionary somewhere between sh*t and syphilis.

[theblether]

your time abusing Thai kids is up.

In circa 5 or 6 years....

Oh come on.........paedophiles flooded into Thailand because they knew they would get away with it, the government has tightened the laws and there is a lot more international focus on the problem. Western paeds are being hunted down all through the world, I say......FANTASTIC!!

This is one example where the world being a smaller place is a good thing..........I bet this Swedish dog couldn't believe his ears when he heard it was a Royal Thai Police warrant.

Once again I say..............WELL DONE TO THE ROYAL THAI POLICE!!

well done to the police, a small win is better than none, but scroats like the accused always operate in their own little networks.

He would know of others doing the same thing hopefully he is one of many they catch.

most peds, dont think they have done anything wrong, they are basicly incureable.

And you couldn't possibly consider that this is all bu*****t? If he is a paedo, then throw the book at him, but this entire case means someone sat on it for 5 or 6 years?

Could be nothing more than an issue over money.

So, out of roughly 8% of foreigners visiting Thailand's 70 million people each year, and decreasing that 8% to probably 1% of sex tourists, the media always seems to find that one singular story about the white foreigner who committed sex crimes with children, and we all seem to ignore that Thailand's sex crimes among relatives is, and has been, steadily on the rise over the last several years; up to 30% according to some research. But that is based solely on those who come forward.

Sex crimes involving relatives on the rise: expert

"In certain cases, a victim had been violated by three brothers for three years since she was nine, and many cases involving violators who were victims' grandfathers, fathers, stepfathers, and brothers. Another 38 per cent of the cases reported to police are violations by neighbors, associates, acquaintances and colleagues."

"The youngest victim is reportedly at five months by a violator at 13, and the oldest is a 89yearold by a 14yearold, who said he was made aroused after watching a porn movie which are shocking,"

And even that story I just quoted is all bungled up since its main focus is aimed half-truthfully towards only the male (as usual) as the aggressor, and ignores the man (or boy) as the victim; which in 40% of all child abuse cases is the fact worldwide. Yes, regardless of how much it irritates one, it is a fact that 40% of women in most countries (including Thailand) commit sexual crimes against children that almost never get reported.

This story is drivel simply because it is redundant and revolves about an issue that will never change as long as half the victims (the females) are the ones shouting their grievances, and the other half remain silent. Thai women are chief contributors in developing the Thai male mindset, and adult Thai men grow up thinking it is alright to do the things they do, and then women complain about it.

It is allowed (allowed) to happen in the home before it happens on the streets! Concerned parents my arse!

Let's do the math: There is no gene for pedophilia. It is a learned behavior. Thailand is a matriarchal society. This is ignored, and instead the gauntlet is selectively dropped on the heads of the males, since the male is the aggressor and the female the one who needs the protecting.

The point of this article, I believe, is not to make issue with Thailand being a "hub" for sexual predators (hence the report about another foreigner fiddling with kids: the same kids who have probably learned what fiddling is all about from their relatives). Rather, in my opinion, it is another short documentary on how Thailand is suffering from a demented sickness that has no cure in the immediate future, and will continue to get worse as long as male issues are treated as laughable and enviable issues and female issues are given all the attention.

To the females as victims: I laud your grievances and support your aim to have better lives; but you are shooting yourselves in the feet by ignoring what 40% of your sisters are doing around you every day. You are treating it like it is some kind of illusion or non-truth. You ignore it and show rage when it is politely brought up as a legitimate subject to consider. Just because boys enjoy sex at a young age, and dream about their school teachers at a young age, does not mean that they are correct in these desires; and helping them along when they become exploratory, instead of firmly telling them, "NO" will certainly make the chickens come home to roost when those cute, loveable little boys (whom you let parade around proudly showing their penises to the world) are older, smellier, and not so cute.

Point: Foreign sexual predators (the maggots) are not the problem; they are the symptom of the society (the dead beast) that they live in (infest)!

You're quite right theblether. There is a disgusting element on TV that can't avoid being snide about such things. If the police don't catch them, they're inept. If they catch them, they took too long to do so. If they want to extradite them back to Thailand, they want the bribes. If they don't want to extradite them, they''re letting the perverts get away without doing time in a Thai prison.

<deleted> do people want?

And why are so many Thaivisa members so miserable all the time?

[bendix]

...and now you have another 10 years, to clean up the brothels where thai men...ah...never mind!

Could you provide some evidence to back up your claim that Thailand is rife with underage brothels visited by Thai men please?

Give him a minute....he'll just go and take some photos and tell the culprits that 'Bendix' wants some proof and all will be alright.

[bendix]

It's a reasonable request - government reports, police reports, NGO type research etc.

Everytime a westerner is caught fiddling with kids in Thailand, the usual malcontents mumble about the fact that kiddie brothels for local men seem to be on every street corner. In my view it's yet another of those urban myths spewed up by Thaivisa.

It's almost as if they are suggesting that the Thai police are focusing only on western paedos, and letting the Thai offenders get away with it.

So, I repeat, what is this assertion based on?

[bendix]

And for the record, I'm not claiming such places don't exist nor that Thailand doesn't have its fair share of paedophiles. But I do think it's important to put some flesh on an old skeleton which is trotted out everytime we see these news stories.

Brothels or homes! Why go for take-out when you can have it at home?

I am not intentionally being sarcastic. You wanted a source. Here it is. It is a path to the veiled truth. Do the math and try to understand the behaviorism that spreads from facts like these.

Does this fall under extradition, and if the offender is still in Prague how complicated does that make it?

Serious question, I don't know. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a 5 year investigation followed by a similar time period getting him back here.
