And just what what does that have to do with Pattaya-Girl expressing her sympathy - or pehaps you know more ........................

[smileplur]

She expressed sympathy for a 9 year old boy. We do not know if the allegations are true. She is presuming guilt without due process of law. If guilty, I sincerely hope that he is served with the maximum sentence, and I hope that the child recovers. However, until found guilty, I cannot stand by a presume he is guilty.

[Semper]

When he noticed reporters observing him and taking notes, he scolded them harshly with rude words.

Wonder if they can sue him?

[Basil B]

No one is guilty until proved so in a court of law...

But skipping bail does make one think, hopefully he will be locked up now until his trial, but "TiT" so they probably give him bail again.

And I hope our consular Representatives realize they have more important things to do than trying to get this bail skipper, bail again.

[asiawatcher]

Bail jumpers are usually guilty - plenty of examples of that. Stupidly he stayed. Maybe his penchant for underaged sex will be his downfall. I would not want to be him behind bars - the crims have a way of justice he may not like. Throw the book at him.

PATTAYA: -- A 47 year old English resident of Pattaya who is currently on bail relating to charges of conducting lewd acts with minors was rearrested on Friday Night after a Judge issued an arrest warrant for him as he failed to comply with his bail conditions.

Noooooo - surely not - nobody's that daft

[Huayrat]

WHY

[Jingthing]

Just curious. Could he have just left Thailand through any border with the missed court appearance on his record or would that have definitely resulted in his arrest?

[Rimmer]

One racist generalisation flame removed

[technologybytes]

He's only been arrested for breach of bail conditions, that's not exactly a serious deal bearing in mind that they seem to have caught up with him easily enough.

As far as I can see this man has NOT been convicted yet of anything.

so HE IS INNOCENT until proven otherwise. Some respect of his innocence is lacking in these posts I think.

[Jingthing]

You're right but not showing at court sure doesn't advance a picture of his good character. Which makes me wonder again, COULD he have just fled the country, and if so, why didn't he?

[KeyserSoze01]

Some on this thread forget where you are. If you haven't learned so yet, guilt or innocence is a subjective matter in Thailand.

For those splitting hairs with Pattaya Girl expressing sympathy for the young boy, get a f#$king life.

In LOS if you get targeted for this stuff you were are on fire.

Maybe they sent the letter to his old address?

[smokie36]

Lock him up until the case is heard. Simple.

[indyuk]

The accused does not appear to cognizant of his situation. It may be that he didn't skip bail, just forgot due to inebriation. We foreigners have to be very careful in our associations with Thai women with young children. If things go wrong with the relationship it is simply amazing how creative your Thai woman can be in getting her foreign partner extracted from the relationship. Try not to prejudge this case he simply stands accused and for some reason unknown to us and maybe himself too. Now he is in default of his bail condition he has problems enough.

[Bung]

I thought this country had pretty strict libel laws? Printing the accuseds name without proof of guilt would surley fall under this catergory? He's only been accused and skipped bail. As another poster pointed out, claims of peadophilia are easily arranged if someone wants to do the dirty on you.

I say give the guy his day in court. The sooner the better though and no bail this time although having that charge on you're head, skipping bail and hanging around beggars belief.

I do not know if he is guilty or not guilty, I was merely showing concern for the 9 yr old Child ok.

I never mentioned the Man arrested in my previous post whatsoever.

“She is presuming guilt without due process of law. If guilty, I sincerely hope that he is served with the maximum sentence, and I hope that the child recovers. However, until found guilty, I cannot stand by a presume he is guilty.”

Two problems with this

Firstly pattaya_girl made no such presumption.

Secondly it’s a misapplication of the principle to imply he is innocent until found guilty.

Tthe principle is simply saying he should be treated as innocent, as a legal principle, in order to get a fair trial, not that he actually is.

To imply he is innocent based on a principle is extending a dogma and perhaps a bit naïve.

One should look at the facts in each case and make ones own decision, which I think most of us do anyway.

[snarky66]

Innocent until proven guilty? I wonder what country some of these folks think they are in?

And since when is it improper to publish the nightly booking sheet?

When you jump bail your name bloody well should be in the newspapers. There should be a reward for someone dropping a dime on this *********

My question still remains. What is it that you know about this particular 9 year old child that the rest of us do not? There is no proof that anything has happened to any child anywhere. What we are certain of is the fact that this guy jumped bail. Okay, lock him up and let him serve his day in court. If he is guilty, let him fry. If he isn't .... I rest my case. There's no reason to assume anything here. There's just some guy who jumped bail. Maybe he feared the Thai Justice System. If that were the case, he probably wouldn't have stayed. Nevertheless, that is merely speculation.

Don't paint everything with a single stroke of the brush.

[simple1]

As the accused was given bail you would think that the Police would have notified Immigration and his Embassy so that he could not claim to have lost his passport and obtain a replacement. More than likely why he did not depart Thailand whilst out on bail.

Going off on a tangent i was amused at the Pataya Daily news report

. When he noticed reporters observing him and taking notes, he scolded them harshly with rude words.

One can only persume what the rude words were..

Sorry Pattaya-Girl, there is no hope for peple who post inane replies

so HE IS INNOCENT until proven otherwise. Some respect of his innocence is lacking in these posts I think.

Seeing as this goes back to 2008, I presume the warrant issued 14th September last year was for skipping bail, so the the "easy enough" statement would be fair statement had they rearrested him last September.

Sorry to be going off the subject a little bit but I hope the poor little 9 yr old boy recovered from his terrible ordeal...
