Four foreigners arrested in Pattaya paedophile crackdown

 

PATTAYA: Police have arrested four foreigners, including two British nationals, one German and a US citizen in a crackdown on sexual abuse of minors in Pattaya beach resort, police said Thursday.

 

"There are foreign nationals and networks facilitating sexual abuse of minors in Thailand so we needed to crack down on the crime," said police Major-General Chaiwat Kaetworachai, commander of Thailand's Prevention of Crimes Against Women and Children police division.

 

Chaiwat said the Pattaya clean-up, conducted from November 17 to Thursday, had been assisted by tip-offs from the UK-based Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOPC).

 

Netted in the crackdown were two British nationals, Malcolm Henry Payne and Robert Alexander Horsman, German national Fritz Dieter Blattner and US national Robert Roy Lond, who all face charges of sexually abusing minors or abduction of minors.

 

Also arrested was Thai national Saeng Kaetdee on procurement charges. All five were brought to Bangkok Thursday to face charges and court cases.

Hi,

 

"There are foreign nationals and networks facilitating sexual abuse of minors in Thailand so we needed to crack down on the crime,"

 

He might not have meant it that way, but it reads as if it was only because there were foreigners involved that they dealt with this.

 

Sanuk!
