He was a member here right...cannot tell what monster is behind the screen

The videos he uploaded here gave a decent clue and some of us followed him once banned here to his Flickr page and had them removed from that place as well.

Thanks are due to krisb for that.

I heard BKK and CM were #1 and #2 for human trafficking in all of Asia.........and then we have child predators and pedophiles with these pimps...

I really wonder why I like Thailand anymore.....

Every country has horrible people like this guy, but this place seems to have more.....

Not so. The US is the largest market for child porn and a majority of the world's child abuse domains are in the US, so it would be logical to assume most of the predators are in the US, Mexico is also big in that stuff. Compared to the US, numbers of perpetrators in LOS is tiny and the number of farangs involved is very small.

and then we have child predators and pedophiles with these pimps...

Have you ever seen a pimp with a child for sale in LOS? I'd bet not. I haven't seen a pimp in Thailand since the Vietnam war, when they were peddling girls to US troops on R & R.

Yes....it was in patpong macdonalds several years ago.....he had 2 kids.

[cyberfarang]

What would be interesting to know is just how the yanks found him online.

Big brother is watching.

I am a Daily Mail reader, no apologies for that. Early last year they ran a a story about a man in England that was caught sending vile child images to another sickophile by personal email. I`m safe he thought. But want came to light was that there is an agency in America created to detect emails from terrorists that has special software to pick up inappropriate text and images going through the online systems from anywhere in the world. The Man`s images were detected by the agencies and then passed these on to the police in the UK. I guess the same has happened in this case.

It is correct that big brother is watching us and keep in mind that the Internet can be jailbait. But if it brings people like the mad monk to light, then I`m all for it.

Dear gawd in heaven. SCMP has a story running, rather good.

not the fishing guy that got banned for all the kids shots was it ?.....but think he was canadian

[spidermike007]

Throw the filthy animal into a cell occupied by victims of child molestation. They would smash his head in to the bars....

No need for that. From what I hear, those convicted of child porn and child abuse get special treatment in prison. The kind of federal prison he would be sent to (all offenders caught overseas are prosecuted in federal court, and the AG is willing to spend millions to see that they are found guilty) would be the kind of place that has a rather "hardened" population. He would enjoy his years there. He would feel very special. He would be "girlfriend #1" in no time at all.

[taotoo]

Why do these threads always evolve into posters' latent gay rape fantasies?

[Jeremy50]

Once again the armchair sadists rant as to the torture they'd do on another human being without even the guy being convicted. I wish TV wouldn't post stories like this as it achieves nothing but provide an outlet for sadists.

The photos might be nothing more than Bilitis type ie legal. Of course, some on here would castrate David Hamilton.

Actually if you are caught in possession of one of world renowned photographer's David Hamilton's highly artistic 'coffee table' books of soft focus shots of beautiful young naked females, in the UK, you would go on the sex offenders register. But that's just one example of the sad joyless place the UK has become.

Some would describe the pair of you as paedophilia apologists on the basis of these two posts.

They're just running out of places to be 'themselves' at the costs of others.

Your childish suppositions are insulting. Thank god some of us can approach such a subject with an open mind, and the willingness to confront the disturbing 'bullet to the head' response shockingly demonstrated by posters who have absolutely no knowledge of the nature of the said uploaded photos,and, god forbid, were ever to come into a position of legislative power would probably be hanging people left, right and center, just on a hunch.

[botfly]

Yes I'm sure the Department of Homeland Security has nothing better to do than tip off Thai police to innocent people. Are you a friend of this person?

'Fred The Fiddler' also solicited a blog owner, for donations for a 'charity', a children's one. That was posted all over another channel when he was a member there. The blog owner, let's call him John Blow, took it down after he realised what it was. What's shocking here is the amount of like minded fiends.

Thai police, acting on a U.S. tip about child pornography uploads, arrested a British man Wednesday in a northern province where another Westerner was arrested weeks earlier in a similar case.

Department of Special Investigation Lt. Col. Paisith Sungkahapong said the U.S. Department ofHomeland Security informed the Thai agency in November that images were being uploaded and sent from a specific Internet address. The uploads were traced by The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a non-profit group funded by the U.S. government.

We've been following this paedophile for a long while and reporting on his internet behaviour.

He has been caught and will have his day in court.

I bet we hear nothing from you when he is convicted.

Don't forget images are shared amongst that creature's supporters.

Methinks thou protests too much, my dear chap.

As for the nature of the uploaded photo's, well would that be young kids is all their glory? Don't worry the British chap is in protective custody, no one will harm him.

Furthermore I didn't advocate any 'fast' punishment. The info till now provided seems against the man. The British government observers have not protested, nor do I get the impression the HRW is worried about the 'unwell' being of the man, although they might suggest professional help.

I've been here about 25yrs

Have seen several patently false accusations resulting in bad, to very bad, consequences for the accused.

Equally, have seen several clearly guilty people evade the consequences of their actions.

Point is the system has no veracity and without veracity, there can be no faith in the justice of the system.

This country is facing a complete breakdown of credibility from which it will take years to recover.

Does this relate to the topic or are you just distracting?

[botfly]

Clearly with a Homeland Security involvement this is a serious case. They don't go around willy nilly swooping on unsuspecting innocents and there is just case here as demonstrated.

May justice have its day.

Your point is invalid as the call to arrest him came from outside Thailand.

Nice try at deflecting and changing the subject from a paedophile being caught and arrested following an investigation spanning the globe.

US Authorities Contact Thai Police to Arrest Suspected Pedophile
By Teeranai Charuvastra
Staff Reporter


DSI and local police officers arresting Fabian Frederick Blandford at his home in Chiang Mai province.

CHIANG MAI — Following a tip-off from American officials, police arrested a British national in Chiang Mai province yesterday on charges of uploading child porn to the internet.

Fabian Frederick Blandford, 64, was arrested at his home on Wednesday after the US Homeland Security Investigation team contacted Thai police about the matter, a spokeswoman of the US Embassy in Bangkok told Khaosod English.

“The United States has a long history of law enforcement cooperation with Thailand, including collaboration on key issues such as fighting child exploitation,” spokeswoman Melissa Sweeney said today. “U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) recently shared with Thai authorities information which assisted an investigation leading to the Jan. 6 arrest of a British national for the possession of child pornography in Thailand.”

Sweeney said US law enforcement officials regularly work with Thai law enforcement officials to tackle child trafficking and child exploitation in the Kingdom. The HSI alerted both Thai and British authorities about the investigation on Blanford, she added.

Blandford was arrested in a joint operation between the local police force and the Division of Special Investigation (DSI). He has been charged with possessing and distributing child pornography on a computer. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.

No deflection implied, stated or intended.

My post is merely a statement of fact.

Your innuendo is incorrect, cheap and insulting.

[sz1a]

Castration is too good for bast..ds like him.

Set him loose in a room with 10 mothers, problem solved.

Make that 10 crocodiles and upload the video to the place he was posting the pics. Absolutely disgusting person.

[Gutenberg]

For all those people here saying that he might be innocent, there is a Songkran video in Youtube from him. It is a video of him chasing little girls and getting full touchy mostly with little girls wearing no T-Shirts.

I was getting really sick but nobody seemed to care! Not even the adults! <deleted> him.

Indeed they do. Some of the comments on here display tendencies that no normal person would condone.

I watched the youtube video in disbelief & shock,that is not the behaviour of a normal man in the company of children.He must have viewed the video knowing it looked dodgy before posting it but thought he was untouchable being a monk & scholar.

To those defending him watch the video & give your opinion on what you see happening ,cos that is nothing dreamy ,more like an nightmare.

[Lancashireman]

Some of these pedos choose isolated places, like Fang, to do their dirty work. I imagine he felt nobody would search for him there. Uploading photos is what got him nailed, but he would of been caught eventually anyways. Probably by some mom and dad wondering why their kids were hanging out at this guy's home. Sounds like he had several "hobbies" that kept him close to kids. Photography, english lessons, etc. Masquerading as a monk..lol. I knew an older man who was pimping ladies in the Philippines who claimed he used to be a Mormon "Bishop". Means absolutely nothing, as hiding behind robes is a classic technique for these guys.

Hope none of these kids were further violated, other than the shower photos.

" Means absolutely nothing, as hiding behind robes is a classic technique for these guys. "

same as so many Catholic priests in USA and Australia and the biggest issue in the end was fighting tooth and nail to avoid the Catholic Church from paying out too much compensation instead of properly addressing the criminality and moral issues

Slightly off thread, but yes the RC church has much to be ashamed of. But when it's protected by the Pope, what chance do victims present and past have.

He was arrested because of "child pornography pictures on his phone/pc" but this video of him showing him fondle little girls naked breasts. I strongly advise to send this specific video to the RTP appointed to this case. So he gets exactly the treatment he deserves.

[shunter]

Playing with fire often ends up with burnt fingers.So posting images of somewhat questionable nature indicates a person with limited mental ability who thought he was untouchable.

[MockingJay]

Anyone touches my kids - he's dead meat! Simple as that. Am tempted to say that probably most of the apologists here never had and never will have kids as otherwise they might reconsider, but then I realized that the most disturbing sentence in the OP was: "The Briton has been staying at the house with his Thai wife and they have a child."
