Thai Police Arrest Pedophile Suspect

Date: 10/19/07

New technology, the famous creation of worldwide internet and also the most dangerous place to meet. An unknown stranger behind the screen pretending to be someone else. One may think, he's a respectful guy, but not a lot will know he's a pedophile who's been abusing children in Asia. The internet lets you create a whole new identity for yourself.

In Thailand, police arrested Christopher Paul Neil, after having pictures surf over the internet of him faceless abusing & sexually assaulting boys in Vietnam and Cambodia. Police used high tech to trace Mr. Neil actions on the internet. He has been living in Asia for five years teaching English in, Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea. He would be prosecuted in Thailand but after will be sent back to Canada where he will be sentenced. Canada is also looking into his previous jobs as a teacher but then asked to leave Roman Catholic elementary school because he wasn't qualify.

Many pedophiles have been going out of the country to become a English teacher and using it as a bait to lure children into trusting them. But it's not only foreigners that abuse children, 90% are abused by locals. The young boy made then complaint saying a Thai man lured him to Mr. Neil's apartment. Two other boys also came forward giving more information. Newspaper also printed postings from his Myspace.

I don't believe the reporter gave enough information about Mr. Neils. They should've investigated more on the boys who came forward. All I read was Mr. Neils jumping from country to country. I wanted this article to be more detailed since the internet and pedophiles have became a known couple. The law in other countries aren't as aware and strict as the U.S. There will never be an end to all these pedophiles assaulting these young kids, there's no stopping them.
