Thanks to a collaboration between the FBI and the Thai police, after a month of investigation, thirteen people were arrested on suspicion of child abuse. The group of paedosexuals consists of nine Thai and four Americans.

Six were in possession of child pornography, four were guilty of child trafficking, two committed a sexual offense and one had deported a child.

De Surgery Cross Country XI (OCC) was held for the second consecutive year. The OCC has been operating in a number of countries for 11 years and aims to rescue child victims of prostitution and raise awareness about the sex trafficking of children.

Arrested Dutchman Reinold K.

More is now known about the alleged child abuser Reinold K. (51) who was arrested in Hau Hin last Sunday. A complaint has already been filed against the man in the Netherlands. That happened some years ago.

Reinold K. moved from Coevorden to Thailand about fifteen years ago. According to Bangkok Post, K. is suspected of abusing a child and of paid sex with a minor. K. would have admitted that he lured boys under the age of fifteen with the promise that they could swim in his pool. He would also have made videos of the abuse and distributed those images, Thai media reported.

Reinold K. owned four homes, several of which he rented out on sites like Micazu and Gaybnb. Photos from the DSI, the Thai investigation service that arrested him on Sunday, include his bed and his organ, which he regularly played. According to videos on YouTube, K. was a religious man and organist in various churches in the Netherlands.

    Organist, religious…..extra years.
    These are just about the worst who often successfully practice their religion for centuries
    use as a cover.
    See here the origin of this word….COVER….
    As indicated yesterday, that article on pedophilia on this blog was very short-sighted.
    In which they stated that the Americans and Europeans are pretty much absolute rulers in the pedo circuit.

    Read yesterday's blog again. You (and many others) don't quite get it: it's about the percentage of people arrested from a certain country, right: "APPROVED suspects" so....

    The percentage of arrested Thais now rises by 9 people = x %. The last sentence you typed is therefore utter nonsense and yesterday's article does not suggest anything but only states the statistical facts.

      I have not read that article, but understand that it concerns small unrepresentative numbers, which you are not allowed to percentage, I remember from statistics lessons.
      Percentages then give a misleading picture, because they give the impression that they relate to large populations, when in reality it concerns a few dozen people.

    Certainly not only in Thailand, but all over the world, children are abused in all kinds of ways. Structurally, there is far too little attention for this. Human traffickers, exploiters and so on the world is full of them and they go their own way because the chance of being caught is nil. Crime pays for many and many people don't care. Your own comfort and you know the human characteristics that maintain all this.
    We could write about this every day and as long as humanity is so sick, many will continue to suffer and it will never get better. So sleep peacefully and wake up healthy tomorrow because for many this is an illusion.

      For those interested, some notes on this subject. For those who are genuinely interested in fellow human beings and what is already happening in the world. So much has been written about it and for a certain group of bloggers it really can't hurt to read it.

      One reason that young women and girls may be increasingly recruited into prostitution is the demand of the clientele of the sex industry. Advertised promises of youth, virginity, and innocence have led to increased demands for children in the global sex trade.[7] Research has found that the characteristics that men find attractive in Thai women are “simplicity, loyalty, affection, and innocence.”[7]
      There are two types of men who use trafficked children. The first type is preferential abusers who actively seek out sex with children of a particular age.[7] The second type is situational abusers who might have sex with children if an offer is made. Their sexual preference is not necessarily for children. These men are commonly sex tourists, or those who travel to other countries specifically looking for sex.
      The increasing number of people with AIDS is another reason for the increasing recruitment of young girls. The sex industry uses AIDS as an excuse “under the false pretense that younger girls will not be infected with the disease”.[6]
