Nisa Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Plausible that he is a paedophile, implausible that he could overpower girls of that age when he is a frail 90-year old. There isn't even a hint of speculation or accusation he overpowered these children who were as young as 5-years old. But what is implausible is that after that it is untrue "Cops found video footage and 100 photographs of naked children, some posing with the elderly man" and they are going to appear in court and say they lost all this evidence.

theblether Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I can only wonder about theblether's attitude on this thread. It is certainly far removed from his normal, well thought out posts. Maybe this will help. There have been times when my lifestyle ie coming to Thailand about 6/7 times a year has caused raised eyebrows back home in Scotland. There is some kind of train of thought over there that all visitors to Thailand might be paedophiles. Indeed, a workmate of mine, who had a gf and baby in Thailand had a helluva job getting his mother to visit because of this. Nothing beats old fashioned Scottish ingrained opinionated hatred. Rights or wrongs do not matter, it is just there and always will be In grained Scottish hatred of paedophiles? yes, that's me. Make your next post a good one, you're crossing into dangerous territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Here's my last word on this subject......each and every person on this thread that thought they would have a go at me bookmark this and come back to me after the trial......this report is from Destiny Rescue, http://www.destinyre...ught-to-justice Here's the line that will put an end to all of these stupid defences.............. “When Thai police first arrested Kraus two years ago on rape charges, they alleged they seized from him more than 100 photographs of naked children, including some of him posing with them. They alleged he emailed some pictures overseas, suggesting he was part of an international paedophilia network.” In a court room soon photographs of this scumbag posing naked with little girls will be displayed........this little detail may explain why there has been a relative silence on this matter by the Australian authorities, they know he has been caught bang to rights. What say you apologists now, eh? i say you take yourself way too seriously and get very nasty when cornered. As for the pedophile, he will be dead soon either way and nothing will undo the damage he has done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise if I am not as ready as some to throw the old guy under the train . . . odd that cops and the authorities in general are condemned by 'us' daily and vociferously yet the benefit of the doubt is not extended to a 93-year old who could very, very well be stitched up.

Despite your desire to have unedited pictures of naked children printed in the press for the sake of our playing detective and judge, this is not something normally done. However it is the common theme claimed by posters here when they want to question police (why don't they release the evidence). In fact is actually EXTREMELY common and proper for police not to release publicly their evidence to the public, they do this at trial. As with big busts and drug or gun busts, yes hear like elsewhere, they like to use the evidence for PR. The guy is on trial an a verdict will be reached soon that will in no way be determined by our opinions expressed here. If you want to believe in the guys innocence then make a case or explain you don't have opinions until the court ruling but please don't try to make a case by putting responsibility or blame onto the child victims. Your continuing a mentioning the children's age as somehow being relevant to if he molested children is either sick or just shows your lack of understanding of what is child molestation.

Blood pressure and diabetes is easy to check and I don't think a lot of people keep canes who don't use them. But what do I know? Blood pressure and diabetes ... both called silent killers for a reason. I think the last stats I read were 25% of US population has high blood pressure and nearly 10% of the total population and over 30% of people over 65 has diabities. Here is a pic of him being brought to court prior to his fleeing to Burma If nothing else, good thing for the public they got him him to stop driving his car Edited October 5, 2012 by Nisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) So the police had 100s of pictures of naked children, some where he was posing with naked children, but they didn't show any of it to the court where he was granted bail. Something smells about this so called 'evidence that will be presented at court'. Why did the authorities grant him bail if he had such stuff on his computer, and was really raping little children?

cbrer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Interesting to note he walked just fine, lived on his own and drove a car ... that is up until the police showed up when the neighbors say he began to act feeble. Are you making things up now Nisa? All your says is: "Neighbours say that, until recently, Mr Kraus drove a car and appeared spritely" Neighbours say that, until recently, Mr Kraus drove a car and appeared spritely, but he has appeared in a wheelchair at his most recent court appearances.

Gaccha Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 3. The man's mental health is a factor. One doesn't know as there is no statement of whether or not a mental health assessment was made. There is no indication of whether or not the man was on medication. Some medications cause very aberrant behaviour. Warning: This medicine may cause you to Gbecome sexually attracted to children and force you to molest multiple children and amass child pornography that you will be compelled to share with your friends overseas. The level of hysteria being displayed on here by some allegedy intelligent people is quite simply shocking. I don't think anyone is trying to allege members of thaivisa are intelligent.

It only sounds fishy if you don't understand much of the court system and how bail works.. Just because somebody is likely guilty doesn't mean they are denied bail .. not here or in any civil society. If there was a serious question about his guilt then he would not need bail because the charges would not proceed. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of people who are charged with a crime end up pleading or being found guilty and only a very small percentage are denied bail.

Dork Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just the terminology here is sickening enough. Give it a rest will ya? Why don't you give it a rest instead of bringing it up over and over in quotes? A truly bizarre reply. +1 Maybe Tropo can explain the case for the defence, he's been asked to do so twice already........maybe he can explain this..... “When Thai police first arrested Kraus two years ago on rape charges, they alleged they seized from him more than 100 photographs of naked children, including some of him posing with them. They alleged he emailed some pictures overseas, suggesting he was part of an international paedophilia network.” That information is all over the internet, and has been reported in respected journals all over the World, this guy who has already admitted to being involved in a rape case before in Thailand, and the last time he cried....." it was a set up to extort money from me ". What's his cry this time? " it's a set up to extort money from me ".......this guy is now accused of multiple rapes, he's been caught with indecent images on his PC, and he has been caught with photos of himself posing with little girls. Some people need to explain their determination to defend this rapist and paedophile. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 ^^ Too much to quote but you're looking for someone to explain this: “When Thai police first arrested Kraus two years ago on rape charges, they alleged they seized from him more than 100 photographs of naked children, including some of him posing with them. They alleged he emailed some pictures overseas, suggesting he was part of an international paedophilia network.” If the Thai police allege something that it has to be true, eh. I find it hard to believe that people who have lived in Thailand for any amount of time would regard what the Thai police allege to be worth basing one's beliefs on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst case scenario would be facing a judge with your mentality because he'd most likely be heading for one of those old fashioned 'hanged, drawn and quartered' executions. If you were running the show he wouldn't even need a day in court. He'd be summarily executed on the spot. Edited October 5, 2012 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
