But that sort of thing should be dealt with by the law, not by internet vigilantism.
Yes. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is a fundamental principle for good reason. For example, we don't actually know if anything of what we've read about him is actually true.
How was this guy dealt with by internet vigilantes?
He was arrested by the local authorities then bolted from the country once released on bail.
It is not uncustomary for authorities to release names of those arrested.
Do you want everywhere to change their processes so that your paedophile friends can remain in the shadows?
Then what would you call this:
And yes, obviously everybody who thinks people have a right to due process must be a pedophile.
There is no due process because he fled the country.
Some countries have laws against committing crimes abroad so they can still be charged at home for this reason, I'm not sure about the US though.
Which is especially indicative of their personal qualities in the light of the fact that if he really is a pedophile, proving it won't be hard.
Sweet lord the Brazilian tourists are out in force on this thread.
They found him in a hotel known for sex workers, in a district known for sex work, with an 11 and 12 year old girl.
What was he doing, tutoring them?
He fled the country to escape consequences and I think we're all safer knowing his name and face.
I think you're replying to the wrong person!
The fact the guy was caught prior to abusing these kids, arrested and now has "his card marked" is great
No I meant the psychos downvoting you.
