Swiss arrested over allegations of unlawful contact with minors



PATTAYA: -- On Friday Afternoon officers from the Police Region 2 Child and Women Protection Unit armed with a search warrant and arrest warrant issued by the Pattaya Provincial Court attended a house in the Banglamung area occupied by a Swiss National who is accused of possessing explicit material relating to minors and allegedly inviting boys aged between 10 and 13 to his house. Allegations of improper and unlawful activities involving the children have also been made against the suspect.

Officers gained entry to the house occupied by Mr. Robert Tschopp aged 67 from Switzerland, a former Pattaya Bar Owner and longtime resident of Pattaya. Officers presented him with copies of search warrant number 528/2556 and arrest warrant number 505/2556, both dated 26th July 2013 and issued by the Pattaya Provincial Court
At the time of entry a 13 year old boy was in the house and was found to be relation to Mr. Tschopp or anyone else in the house at the time.

A search uncovered explicit pictures including a 2005 Calendar depicting naked and semi-naked young boys in various poses and a pornographic video reportedly depicting children stored on a computer which was seized as evidence.

A lot worse here in Cambodia. Castration with a very blunt instrument, me thinks.

Only thing to say. Dirty old bastard. Hope he gets long time in a Thai prison.

The question here should also be, does this guy have any convictions in his native Switzerland. Because if so, then it's about time this sort of person is stopped from travelling.

One option would be to have such convictions stamped in their passports.or even have their passports taken away.

If this is the case, than approx. half of the men in Pattaya, Phuket and other men's

"tourist destinations" should also be arrested....

I can't get my head around people that think young kids are attractive for those purposes. Makes me sick!

Taking their passports away is a great idea if they have a conviction. That way the individual countries can keep them on the sex offenders list and keep a watchful eye. It seems such a simple solution i don't understand why it is not enforced. We all have to do something to keep the kids safe from these sick people, never mind politics every country is appalled by this so it should be universally accepted,,.. We can only hope,,,

GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Ohhhhhh rrrrrrrrrrrr make him walk the plank and feed him to the sharks...

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Steve the pirate.

He does not look so old to me !

When a travel agent proposes a trip to ancient Greece, I reckon you should pass.

Don't even need to stamp in the passport. Put the info on the outward computer and then let them spend the money on the airfare and turn them back from the flight without compensation.

We cant really judge ancient civilisations by modern standards.

Lets stick to modern problems. Definite withdrawal of passport for serious offender against children and, within their home country (again for serious offence) life long tagging.

Is this your subtle way of justifying what these sick individuals do?

Or should I say " trying to justify"

Even if he was, such comparisons are silly. The ancient world was a different places, with different morals, standards and life expectancy. Marriage was common at puberty. Now we (correctly) protect the notion of childhood. But childhood is really a concept that is only a couple of hundred years' old.

Sad, that this incidents is now used to air homophobic thoughts, which have nothing to do with the topic at hand anyway.

OP, if you show me your wife/gf/past female acquaintance that you were once attracted to, I might feel the same way but I think politeness dictates that such thoughts are kept for ourselves.

Not at all.

Just trying to point out that educated people have no problem "getting their head around" most anything. That would include pretty much anything in the human experience including murder and cannibalism. That doesn't imply justifying anything or condoning anything. It's hilarious that this topic incites such HYSTERIA that I can't even make a comment like that without the kind of trash accusation you just made. When I hear a comment like I was responding to I assume I'm hearing from a person lacking a good education and/or any imagination at all behind their PERSONAL life experience.

This sexual activity is wrong. I do not think it is tolerated any place in the world but one question haunts me. When I was 10,11,12and older I was aware of men that wanted something other than the time of day from me. How does this happen and are the children consenting? Where are the adults that are relatives of the boys? What happens to the children; I'm not concerned about the man.

This is a well known area of study. In the cases of boys, of course they legally cannot consent, but in practice they have consented to sell themselves. That's why it's often a rape charge even if not rape in the sense most people think of rape. Some of these boys will have long psychological pain from such encounters and would ideally get counseling, and some of them will have pretty much no harm at all. Generally it won't make them gay if they weren't already destined to be gay. There is also the risk of course of STDs.

I think there is a psychological difference in this kind of case to cases involving authority figures like priests. With priests you've got an authority figure that the victims are led to believe is the voice of God. The potential for psychological harm for sex abuse victims of such figures is likely greater.

i notice more and more of these guys are getting caught recently! Good job!

@Jingthing

I made no accusations. I simply asked you a question. Those with a "good education" can tell the difference.

More accurately, it was a mildly ACCUSATORY loaded question.

Not quite as bad as a question like ...

When did you stop beating your wife?

I will grant you.
