Oepen absconded from Belgium last year after being convicted of repeatedly raping his step daughter over a period of 5 years from when she was just 12 until 17.

Courts sentenced him to 8 years in prison and he managed to escape Europe and flee to Thailand, first arriving in Phuket on a visitor visa in February 2012.

As his visitor visa came close to expiry he applied for and received a student visa, enabling him to stay in Thailand.

Oepen has been sought throughout Europe and meanwhile had moved around Thailand before ending up in Pattaya, where he was arrested at the house of 35 year old female local national today. [more...]

Less of the nice.

he looks like he would be a good candidate to start a new life as a ladyboy

Before the usual suspects start on about how lax Thai immigration is about letting in criminals etc etc, take a moment to consider how was it possible for him to escape Europe in the first instance? As a convicted criminal, why wasn't he behind bars, passport confiscated etc (unless passport was forged?)

Just wait for the foul mouthed failed footballer from Falmouth arrives ! To be found in a bar near you, I bet!

Only 8 years for raping a child? Should be life.

Convicted criminals and those charged & awaiting trial seem to manage to escape Europe without much effort. Presumably some airport departure areas must have special express queues set aside for fleeing criminals outwitting dull & corrupt European police.

Man, this guy looks harmless, but that is probably how he gets close to mothers and their kids. I hope the giant homos' get him in the shower.

Yes - many people charged with offences and on bail seem to manage to flee their countries these days. Police in Europe may be of very varying standards - in ability and professionalism but don't suffer the ingrained institutionalised corruption found in many third world law enforcement agencies.

Hopefully the Belgian police will learn from this.

Have a look at the history of European colonial rulers. This may give you a clue to your question's answers.

sure ,and castrated

Bad thing is that they lock up creeps like this seperatly in belgium because its well known if they put child molesters and rapist in general population that they will get executed in prison. (you dont touch children) , As you might remember about 15 years we have a creep named Dutroux who abducted, raped and then killed some children he is kept under solitude confindmant for all those years because mob underworld puts money on his head who ever can kill him in prison. (sqtill keeping fingers crossed that they get him tho)

no excuse and absolution for scum like this

Ha ha. That exactly what I was thinking. He can freelance at ñana plaza. Lol

I shouldn't say it but....sometimes you can judge a book by the cover, and that cover is suspect!

So many experts on prison life.

How many of you have been inside.

This bloke will be in protective custody.

Very little risk to his safety.

I have, and there are rapists and all sorts mixed in with the general population, though i'd be surprised if someone were to boast about being a nonce, but the Prison Wardens know who is in for what and no doubt like to talk.

Though if he is sectioned off he'll be in a wing with grasses and all sorts who also despise nonces.

In prison there is a constant risk to your safety no matter who you are.

8 years in Belgium means 29 months in jail and probably even less, it is already amazing that the Belgian authorities went so far as going after this man.

Really?

I bet he will be in prison for a far shorter period.

My guess is 3,5-4 years

Oh really?

And where might your origin be?

I hope he will have a nice stay at the belgium jail

together with Bubba....he needs a new b_tch

So this continued for five years and his wife overlooked it all the time? A determined effort in looking the other way.

received a student visa, enabling him to stay in Thailand.

In keeping with past trends, when does the Non-ED visa crackdown begin?
