waza Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 A Sydney man has been arrested in Thailand on pedophile-related charges after Australian Federal Police (AFP) allegedly intercepted photographs emailed to Australia. Ian Potterton, 51, was detained by Thai authorities on Thursday before boarding an Australian-bound flight at Bangkok's International Airport after a short holiday in Thailand, a Thai police official from the Anti-Human Trafficking Division said. On Friday, Potterton arrived at Crime Suppression Division Headquarters wearing blue jeans and a chequered blue shirt, his hand bandaged after spending a night in hospital receiving treatment for bronchitis and pneumonia. Senior Thai police said the charges related to nude photographs of a 15-year-old Thai boy sent to Australia. Potterton denies the charges, saying the pictures are of a "non-sexual nature" and he's the victim of over-zealous policing. His arrest followed a tip-off by the AFP to Thai authorities. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2012/11/09/21/00/australian-facing-thai-pedophile-charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
