Interpol has received tips from Canada after issuing a worldwide
appeal for information on a man suspected of sexually abusing young
boys from Southeast Asia, a spokesperson for the agency said Tuesday.
Interpol
spokesman Michael Moran, a criminal intelligence officer, said the
appeal was issued after a fruitless two-year investigation led the
agency no closer to identifying or locating a man who allegedly appears
in about 100 photographs to be sexually abusing boys five to 10 years
of age.
Interpol has gathered 800 photos, some found online by
Toronto police, that it believes to be connected to the man because
they include similar locations and child victims, said Mr. Moran.
"These
are not harmless images. These are images of the sexual abuse of
children," Mr. Moran told Canwest News Service in a telephone interview
from Lyon, France.
Mr. Moran said the agency has received tips
from around the world, including some from Canada, but would not give
an exact number.
This is the second time Interpol has issued a
call for public assistance to track down a suspected pedophile.
Canadian Christopher Neil, 32, was arrested last October in Thailand
after police unravelled a swirled Internet photo of a man's face. The
man was depicted as allegedly sexually abusing boys from Cambodia and
Vietnam. *
Speaking of Canadian kiddie-diddlers...
The Scotsman in that clip is actor Robert Smith and he's facing some jail time for being in possession of kiddie porn:
A Toronto actor known for his work on a popular beer commercial has pleaded guilty to child porn charges.
Robert Smith, the 42-year-old who played a crude Scotsman in an
Alexander Keith's beer commercial, told a courtroom Monday he was not
pressured into making the decision.
His plea comes after an attempt by his lawyer, Cindy Wasser, to have
the charges thrown out on the basis that the search warrants were
unconstitutional.
In their search, police retrieved information from Smith's Internet
service provider. The Crown was able to successfully argue that
Internet subscribers do not have an expectation of privacy when they
sign up for file sharing networks.
Crown prosecutor Allison Dellandrea read from a statement of agreed
facts in which Smith admitted to downloading and possessing child
pornography.
His wife did not know about Smith's actions, the statement said.
Smith's next court appearance is scheduled for Monday when a sentencing date will be set.
He could be jailed for up to two years.
I wonder if the "Canadian Cynic " is getting nervous. For some strange reason he and his pal "thai-guy" think it's perfectly acceptable for a 45 year old man to be legally entitled to have sex with a 14 year old boy...
Didn't we used to castrate these types of people?
