I'd assumed that guy had already been caught - apparently not. They took
a long time to get on his case, those images have been around a while I

As I understand it, sexual contact between men and boys in certain parts
of the Asia was traditionally considered more a matter for a joke than
a lynching, or so I have read. Silly old men chasing little boys.
Boys couldn't get pregant, and different standards of what constitutes
"impurity" were/are applied to boy than the much more serious standards
applied to girls. Or it was institutionalized and sactioned in some
other places, such as those dancing boys in parts of Java.
Then the NGOs arrived in Asia chasing overseas aid funding. First they
said: "you pedos say this culture tolerates and even understands your
desire to do stuff with little boys. Wrong! They do not tolerate it at
all, it is frowned upon!". There was something very like this on the
ECPAT website in the late 1990s. Yet at the same time, they conceded
that child prostitution was always driven and sustained by local demand;
sex tourism had and has a very small part to play economically in
thay business. But catching sex tourists gets a lot more headlines,
more headlines mean more beat up, more beat up means more funding
for NGOs. NGOs are businesses, not charities. Hence the claims on
the Inquisition website that NGOs in Cambodia are actively paying
taxi drivers and others to turn in customers interested in minors.
They have also bribed witnesses to otain convictions in that country
(some false withnesses have recanted and told about this).
By the early 2000s. ECPAT had given up saying it wasn't really tolerated.
Instead, they publically berated and *chastized* the people of Cambodia
for their "apathy" concerning sex with minors. In other words, it
seemed they actually didn't care very much after all! Many Cambodians
tolerated a certain amount of this activity, always had, in fact it
has been embedded throughout much of Asia in one form or another for
thousands of years. Then there's large parts of South Asia where men
have been loving boys for countless thousands of years.
Thus ends another rant. Probably no-one except VV, the trolls and the
police are reading it.
