Shoot? New penalty for child exploitation in DR is death? How about an arrest and trial?

I can't imagine how anybody could get accurate numbers and also wonder if the numbers include the locals who engage in the act but don't pay. Either way, the best way to stop it is to load up the jails with the offenders.

Good article. It looks like the DR is willing to at least talk about the issue.

It's definitely available. Just walking the malecon in Puerto Plata, I often decline advances of women only to have them offer up a girl who I assume is their younger sibling of about 12-14 years. It's definitely a different world here.

On the highway in Sosua is a sign so faded that you need to stand directly under it to read. It sternly forbids underage solicitation.

Some, if not all, third world countries seem to have this problem.

on a related note, dominican government shared the info regarding cases of online child pornography in DR, generally involving minors between 9 and 13 years of age.

note that the areas where most of such online activities were detected were puerto plata, la altagracia, samana and boca chica, definitely tourist areas.
new prosecutor promised last year to focus on cracking down on this particular issue. hopefully it will result in arrests, trials and sentences.

It would be nice if they'd arrest, trial and convict these people but I think its
wishful thinking. They will probably round up a few for the typical dog and pony
show to parade in front of the media.. Then, as unfortunate as it may sound, forget
all about it and things will continue as the have been for.. lord only knows how long.

Indeed there are pros and cons to life here in the DR.

related article about forced "marriages" with teenage girls (matrimonio infantil). the highest rates of relationships between teens and men older than them by 10 years is in the poorest areas of the country where girls get together with older guys in hope of escaping poverty, domestic violence and trying to get some liberty.
interestingly, out of 96 men included in the survey 39% preferred "children and teens" because they are more obedient.

well, when you are in a state of protracted adolescence, and you need GPS to get out of bed, you are not able to function around a woman who has a mental age in excess of 12 years. ask those guys with the 14 year old wives to multiply two times two, and see what you hear.

Gorgon,

Once again, you are on point. I personally know someone who is in that exact state of zombification and raised her daughters who went through the same process that she went through. The youngest daughter was saved because someone killed her "marido' and now she is back on track with her life.

I'd go with the shoot decisions after the trial, don't just send them back to USA or Canada or Jolly Olde England, shoot them, or hang them!

I agree. Hang them after trial. By their own sack and then shoot them.
