British Sex Fiend Arrested In Phuket

[TechnikaIII]

This is a Perfect example of why Thailand and other countries do a back ground check for everyone that wants to even visit

... and it clearly doesn't work, so I guess it's also a perfect example of why hassling millions of visitors with bs bureaucracy to give the illusion they're stopping a-holes like this guy, is senseless.

I can just see it all now.

Immigration line up entering Thailand at swampy now two miles long.

"Immigration line up entering Thailand at swampy now two miles long" No. Do it at the departure point, before they even get to Thailand. The load will be actually reduced at "swampy". A great big stamp in the passport "SEX OFFENDER" with catagory added: Peodophile

[Markaew]

Have you noticed that most of the recent news is about guys that are 57 years old?

worried?

Funny. I'm not 57.

[isawasnake]

That great Sublime song "date rape" comes to mind. Hopefully this guy will be getting "butt raped by a large inmate" very soon.

I just read a blog where the writer interviewed a Japanese guy who runs a company selling life-like child dolls. She was obviously repulsed but probably wanted more traffic to her blog by writing about a controversial subject. It threw up lots of questions; how little we understand about sexual attraction, what types of therapy would work in preventing crime, and what crosses the line legally and morally. We need to protect children and cases like this guy who was in a US jail and still continued are worrying as rehabilitation doesn't work. There are some parallels when you think that historically homosexuality was illegal (still in is some countries) and our enlightened understanding at present indicates that you can't de-gay someone who didn't choose their own sexual orientation. Maybe paedos don't choose either but I think only a progressive approach to understanding this will help keep kids safe.

Maybe jail is not punishment for him. Ever hear of Lenny Bruce and his comments about this? So you believe you are a leaf in the wind and it is the wind's fault for who you choose to bed with? The issues you point to in your post are largely a result of believing you can defer accountability or responsibility for your actions, that you are at the mercy of some imagined destiny.

paedo philia is certainly a sickness,but children need to be protected,and prison is a good place to put them,by all means try and cure them but let it be done in prison with a life sentence to protect others

[samuibeachcomber]

Why is he in a shirt and tie walking down beach road?

He works at a hotel.

i cannot believe he works for a hotel in the strictist sense.yes he maybe seconded there working for a 'timeshare company" or fractional selling as they now like to call it.It seems anyone (farang) can get a job selling this poor product.

Guessing?? he may even look forward to that---who knows.

Feelings run high on this subject, more so when you are a father/mother of a young boy.

1st thing that can happen is voluntary chemical injections-to take away the urge (in prison)

All this bull S##t about cannot live near a school is ridiculous, being tagged when out of prison is a must.

For many of pedophiles, it is not about the sex and so chemical castration (or any type of castration for that matter) does not necessarily work--although it will with some.

Pedophiles are usually people who have become emotionally stunted and emotionally stopped developing at a young age. The physical age of the victims will often be the emotional age of the perpetrator. The experience isn't always about sex, but may manifest itself in a sexual manner. So for many, even if they cannot perform sexually, they are capable of being sexually abusive to children.

Whatever treatment is provided, at this point in time, they must be kept away from children.

[AhFarangJa]

Chemical castration first, then destroy passport because these people always seem to know the loopholes that "bleeding heart social workers " give them, quote"what about his human rights" what about the human rights of all the children he has defiled. Bread and water for the rest of his life, and work for his keep. Draconian, maybe, but that is just my way of keeping these scum where they belong.

First and formost apart from what punishment will be dealt out in his country.... Passport ripped up,....what hurts most offenders is to deprive them of their freedom.....make ALL criminals work for their keep.......Like I said before /earlier post forbidding them to live near a school is a lunatic idea, if he/she lived 1 mile away and their interest is in young they will find.......let the families of the kids have 1 hour with them (cannot but a good thought)

Scott,- I disagree at a certain point. Just go to Sukhumvit and see all the street vendors selling child porn. I was shocked when I saw a cover with girls being 4 or 5 years old. Don't you think this could a sort of " wake up" some peoples' perverted interests? Nowadays people send each other photos of kids, using e-mail accounts, skype and other medias.almost impossible to track them.

I do believe that some people who'd never thought of having sex with kids could come to a conclusion to like what they see. Especially when they've got a big fat dragon at home, dominating them.And I/m pretty sure that post Pedoes do have a problem with "older" women.

It's a very difficult topic I guess....hope less kids will be used in the future and those who abused them will have to face a real prison. Not those like in Europe, where Russians might think they got into a hotel.

Mr Glass will be able to write the Rough Guide to prisons around the world when he is done. Pity he had no chance to experience live in a Thai prison with ladyboy hookers catering to his every need. The other inmates in a British prison will probably be less understand

More likely "The Idiots Guide To World Prisons"

What the hell does it take to order chemical or surgical castration???

Thats too kind, use a scapel. He need not be given any pain killer, it does'nt hurt ask any bullock.

[FDog]

I wonder if "serial sex offender" was listed as his occupation on his work permit?

Thai and UK authorities will promote this arrest-case as a success.

Not wise to try to explain this success somewhere in US, Malta and New-Zealand...and others if not-reported...

International judicial coordination system failed seriously since 1974.

How many other potential sexual aggressors are known and still free ?

How many other potential sexual aggressors are known and still free?

Well I would hope all of them. It is a sad day when 'potential' is enough to lock people up.

Jeez all men would be locked up because we have a dick and therefore could be potential rapists.

I, and most people in Bangkok, see dogs all the time. Dogs are even doing it in the streets. There doesn't seem to be any rise in the instances of people having sex with dogs.

Most people find sexual pictures of children revolting. I doubt there is any 'latent' sexual urges for children that are unleashed by child pornography or any exposure to children.

How did he get the visa to enter Thailand and a job in the first place????

Any monkey can get a visa to enter Thailand and any other country - when was the last time you were checked for a criminal record?

Lots of countries do a criminal conviction check before issuing a visa. Many people have been refused visas to the UK because they have criminal convictions.

A person can no more discover they are a pedophile from seeing child porn than they can discover they ar heterosexual or homosexual from seeing the right kind of porn.

And the idea that someone would want to have sex with children because of an overweight and unpleasant wife?! Seriously, that is either astonishingly ignorant and unthinking comment on pedophilia or just a really sick perspective and rationalization.

Scott couldn't be more correct.

So, did you follow the case of Mah Nle Belly in Rayong?

Scott is 100% right,its about power and degredation.My ex wife worked for a probation centre,specialising in reform of nonces.After 20 years she realised that the only way to stop them was a bullet to the head.In fact some nonces asked to be put down like a dog,as they knew nothing could cure them including chemical castration.Your other point is realy offensive,do u actualy believe if u have a fat wife,and see some kiddy porn,some would want to be a kiddie fiddler,are u mad???? , u nless uhave some facts or an actual scenario,sure the police would like to know, i would.

Absolutely the opposite. That's how most of them are caught nowadays.

Who is buying all this child porn on sale in Sukhumvit Road and Panthip among other places?

Must be demand to create the supply.

Must be a lot of consumers of child porn. Half of all global child porn is produced in America. Ten new images of children are posted daily. Estimates of the global profits from child porn range from $3-20 billion. Quoted from a Forbes article at

Lots of countries do a criminal conviction check before issuing a visa. Many people have been refused visas to the UK because they have criminal convictions.

The country would either need access to the other countries criminal database which means they would need an incredibly close relationship or the person would need to provide a certified copy (translated if needed) of their criminal record from their home country for the Visa issuing country to know of any convictions ... unless of course the person simply admits it.

It's not illegal to enter Thailand with a criminal record, only for if you have been convicted of certain crimes. As usual this 'law' is for the most part ambiguous and open to 'interpretation'. Some guidelines are listed on the MFA website IIRC.

I really would think twice about giving access to sensitive personal information to wholly corrupt organisations like the Thai Police, who the immigration department are part of.

Start asking for proof of no criminal record on arrival or during visa applications and watch as the visitor numbers drop off and dwindle to record lows as people opt for more convenient and less intrusive destinations.

So there's no real solution other than for the system we have at present, which eventually worked in this case.

No check for criminal record at immigration when entering Thailand. Only international arrest warrants , local blacklist or outstanding arrest warrant notified by RTP to Thai immigration.
