US man pleads guilty to child sex tourism charges

[Criss Colon]

"OMAR", you are right!
How can you tell it was her father, without a DNA test???
It might very well be her, uncle, her brother, her next door neighbor,or a "Policia"!
All "Usual Suspects" here.
Lets see, one foreign idiot, vs. 500,000 "Usual Suspects!
Now THAT will make a huge difference in the DR Culture!

As much as I loved my time spent in DR, I can't help to wonder how and why things are so screwed up there.

News like this saddens me. How screw up does people have to be if they have to be to different country to have sex with minor? I hope he gets what he deserves in prison.

 

[Criss Colon]

Right, "Koreano" he should have stayed in Massachusetts and had sex with a "MINOR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least he would have saved the plane ticket fees.

I agree with all. Even though jail is still not enough for these scum bags...... Laws are similar for Canada also. I say first at least full castaration with no anaesthetics then throw the scum bag into Gen Pop in prison with a marked uniform as a scum bag!!! At least that's a start... I don't know what the laws in Europe are for these kinds of things but this should also be brought to light as well as I have seen a few of these out there as well as North American scum bags.... Simple prison is not good enough.....
Anyway my 2 cents....Charlie

This happens all over the world, if you drive through rural parts of Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia to name and you will see this sort of thing is quite common.

Education, Human and Economic Development is the only weapon that can stop this sort of thing in the world. Upper class, middle class, and the people below the middle class( I have a problem calling people "lower class") are all victims of these sort of thing involving children. You would think the upper class people would be the last ones involved in this sort of behavior, but I think they are the worst ones.

Some parts of the USA the people police themselves and if you live in some back water swamp in Louisiana far away from civilization young people do not have a voice that could be heard. The mother of a child that is being molested was probaly molested herself so she may not know how serious the long term affect this may have on a child because she was a victim as well.

These men can NEVER be stop because they suffer from a very DARK sickness and there are so many of them in the world, what you can do is arm young people with the knowledge so they are not a victim.

If you kill or lock up one child molester 5 more pop up and take his place.

I am reminded of the wedding that was cancelled by the grooms family, when they found out the young "Bride-To-Be" was still a virgin.
REASON???
They said that if she wasn't good enough for her own family, she wasn't good enough for theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realize that it's very "PC" to post of all the savage acts of punishment, that one would perpetrait on the pedophile, BUT,
that's really just "armchair" babble!
So, put up, or shut up!
Donate your time, money, or both, to an "NGO" that protects, "Children At Risk"!
And you won't be asked to "Castrate"or "Behead" anyone, and get wider ranging results.

We already do at home for for children, I am not aware of any programs in this country. We contribute what we can to a small local orphange here as well. Can you give some insight into where or pm with info. Thanx CC

It's still how I feel

 

[JohnnyBoy]

Half of these busts are a shakedown. From what I have seen ninety five percent of the natives have no compunction about screwing fifteen year old girls.

 

[Givadogahome]

How do you know the dad impregnated the teen? I would think the wife would feel livid about it. They're not in Haiti anymore.

Like I said, it is not something the family hide, did you not read that in my post?

 

[Givadogahome]

Including his "victim" who believes what he did was probably wrong, but he shouldn't be punished further.



I disagree, I think it should be printed, and posters plastered at the airport and all around tourist towns. The reason foreign pedophiles go elsewhere is because laws and awareness is so much greater in their own country, they know they'll get caught. They go to countries like the DR, not because of local ignorance, but because economic necessity means there will be more supply available, coupled with their impression that the law can't/won't do anything to find them. A couple of well publicized stories in papers in their home country will encourage them to stay away.

I do agree that more should be done to educate many about this, however, until the economics and education certainty of the majority of the general population improves, it'll be just empty words. Very few with options would choose to have money for sex at age 14.

You've been in the sunn too long Rubia, you really think plastering posters around airports is any kind of solution, other than to bring tourism to an absolute standstill. I know we can get ahead of ourselves here on DR1 but please try to remember we live in a tourist friendly nation (well, we try) before sex tourist nation. Exaggerating the paedophilia scale which people seem to be doing, as far as sex pests go does not help the country. People complain, but as far as foreign paedos go, we ain't that significant to be honest. In a whole, it is an issue, as a tourist paedo, we aren't that bad in comparison. Ever been to Cambodia? Now that has issues, serious issues.

On a native scale you have to accept that older men screwing much younger girls is socially accepted. Nothing wrong with a 45 year being seen with his 16 year old down the colmado. Nothing wrong with a 35 year old being seen with his 15 year old down the colmado. Nothing wrong with an 18 year old boy having sex with his 13 year old girlfriend, even impregnating her. You just have to accept this, it is a different reality, there is a difference of importance in life.

it needs to be stopped with the very young kids, just plain old abuse, but it is wrong to cast judgement in a country that is different, just because the mating rituals are different to our own.

bringing too much awareness would be wrong, end of, the issue with paedo tourism isn't that big.

how can we make judgement? http://www.examiner.com/article/por...ndicates-man-accused-of-child-porn-possession

in a world of oddballs and diversity we need to tread carefully, but overkill can ruin lives.

People can do anything for money. But as a parent I don't know if they ever want to do this. Let us work together to make the law governing this behaviour.

What, like raise the legal age of matrimony above the legal age for sexual consent?

What exactly do we do 'together'?

In a country where every legality dictates itself through some form or another what are 'we' going to do about it?

I think what you really mean is 'let us all be concerned enough to consider those effected, but not really in a position to act upon anything'.

It's a dysfunctional system, you can't work with a dysfunctional system, there is no gain, and very few people actually care. Although a few, not enough to make a difference, this is why we live along side it, ignore it, in order to keep some level of sanity in our lives. Those who try to get involved in anything involving this system and to help, inevitably become obsessive, deluded that they are making a bigger impact than they are, somewhat outcast and eventually mentally unstable.

There are some fantastic people making a difference, but these are very special, very knowledgable, very well connected and very tough.

You just answered a spambot.

Some people try to justify pedophiles that come here by saying that locals often do the same thing. I just wonder how many lives this guy has ruined back home and how you guys would justify that. Let?s face it, If he hadn?t come to the DR, he would have gone to other places like Thailand or Cambodia.

I remember a case of a very respected U.S. doctor who used to go to Cambodia to have sex with little girls. Even though Guys like him go to other countries because laws are loose, nobody knows them, and they can have more freedom, they NEVER stop back home, they just change their modus operandi. They just get creative and continue doing what they enjoy doing!

It?s great that he got caught and I hope he?s not the last one they get!

 

[Givadogahome]

I don't think anyone would ever attempt to justify paedos, that would be pretty pathetic, just as it would be to presume someone was because they had no issue speaking out about the realities.

What does not get anything done is a bunch of people sitting around commenting on something they feel so strongly about, repeating the same thing without looking at the big picture. Anyone can moan about anything, addressing the issue is slightly more difficult.

So, tell us, what have you done to create awareness about child abuse in the DR?

 

[Givadogahome]

Nothing at all, nor do i intend to (or did you miss my post on involvement in a dysfunctional system) nor do I sit around talking about something like child abuse with a passion. Do you think because you acknowledge there is child abuse you make a difference to anything?

I prefer to put my energy into things I enjoy rather than spewing the obvious with the crowd. I fail to see what the 'lets make a stand' people are accomplishing by nattering away, when you have attempted to make a difference then maybe the passion has more substance.
