I think that there is actually a very strong link between paedophiles targeting vulnerable children and sex-tourists targeting vulnerable women. If you think that a 60 year old man who targets a 15 year old child should be fed to the lions, but it's cool for an 60 year old man to have sex with an 18 year old girl who is poor and vulnerable, then surely you have to question whether your moral compass needs a little adjustment. There was outrage on DR1 when the government tried to close the "chica" bars in Sosua. I know I'm not alone in believing that these bars promote DR as a sex tourism destination and attract people like the guy we see here.
This Canadian clearly needs help and clearly should have been picked up by the Canadian authorities before he was allowed to step foot on a plane to DR. Governments in first world countries are constantly tracking paedophile activity on the internet, and someone would have known about him and would have known he was on his way to DR. I sincerely hope lessons can be learnt in Canada. And my heart goes out to the child and the mother involved in this, they must both be traumatised.
Poverty is poverty. Anywhere in the world you have poverty you are going to have exploitation of women and children. Like it or not, they go hand in hand. There are lots of impoverished countries around the world that have zero sex tourism but plenty of children being exploited and abused.
When living in Sosua I met several sex tourist from around the world. They have absolutely nothing to do with paedophiles. Most of them are
1. Much older divorced men who still have a few good years left in them to enjoy young hot ass women.
2. The younger groups of men who come down in droves from places like NYC because for $100 down here they know what they are getting vs. taking some chic out for dinner and drinks two or three weekend$$$ in a row and getting no play in return.
3. Sex addicts, guys who just like women and don?t like taking the time to get to know them and all of their problems.
Unfortunately I know a few paedophiles who live in Sosua as well. Almost all of them are French, Swiss or French Canadian. They openly parade their ?victims?around the Charamicos side of the beach. These men are not sex tourist. These men are discusting criminals and should be treated as such.
And last but not least, lets not forget about all of the ?vulnerable women? who are targeting these sex tourist. Life is a two way street and places like Sosua, Rio and Pattaya are no different.
