Gaybutton Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 The following appears in the PATTAYA CITY NEWS: Story and photos: http://www.pattayacitynews.net/news_10_11_49_3.htm _____ Two Italians Arrested and Accused of Sex with Minors The Tourist Police work constantly on cases of pedophilia and we now report on one such case now which occurred in the early hours of Friday Morning. Police Lieutenant Colonel Wootishart along with Police Captain Siam and a team of undercover officers conducted an operation in Soi Nokow in Central Pattaya to arrest two Italian Nationals accused of conducting sexual acts with girls aged under 15 years. The arrested men are Mr. Magini Massino aged 32 and Mr. Buoguerricri Tullio aged 57. They were detained after a complaint was received from an anonymous source who claimed that the two men who stayed in the same apartment would often be seen with young girls. The two suspects were taken back to the Tourist Police Station where Mr. Tullio confessed to befriending a 14 year old girl who studies in Sattahip. The girl, who cannot be named, told Police that she would often sleep with foreign men for the money to assist her with financing her studies. She slept with both Italian men on two separate occasions. The case will now be transferred to Pattaya Police Station and the Italian Embassy is also involved in the case which will now be heard in court.

Guest wowpow Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I think that this is very exceptional. Farangs with underage girls is very rare indeed. One prison visitor I knew had not heard of a case in three and a half years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One prison visitor I knew had not heard of a case in three and a half years. Not so rare are the cases of Thai nationals going with underage boys/girls but they are rarely arrested let alone go through the prejudiicial media exposure-something encouraged by representatives of foreign policing forces who believe it will actually deter their own nationals from indulging in illicit sex but probably teaches them to be more cunning. The law should always be enforced for all law breakers-not selectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bkkbob Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I used to feel the same about the focus on 'soft' targets rather than the much more pervasive local and Asian child sex business. However, after recently having seen a very disturbing presentation in Cambodia on some of the Americans prosecuted I say 'lock 'em up'. Some of the images presented almost made me throw up - children bound, gagged, burned, beaten, with photos and detailed ledgers kept by some of the perpetrators on all the children they'd abused. One guy collected a patch of pubic hair from each victim. (Eeeeew!) I had no idea. It was like looking at a bunch of serial killers. I think most of us have no idea how bad it can be. I surely didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though-some creepy characters around-the hair one sounds scary although I thought they didn't like the with hair !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
