Colombia's Medellín declares war on sex tourism after US citizen found with two little girls at a hotel - Lemmy

The man, who has been identified as [full name], was discovered thanks to an individual who alerted the police that he was with the two girls at the Gotham Hotel, which is located nearby Lleras Park. Although he was arrested and detained for 12 hours, authorities eventually released him because he had not been caught in the act of sexually abusing the girls. He was released on Friday, and boarded a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. An image of his passport, including his data and photo, has been posted to social media after details of his case came to light.

Maybe giving out his full name without him being caught doing anything illegal nor contacting him to get his version if the story is a little fucked up, El pais

You don’t do that if you’re not 100% sure

I always find not travelling to regions known for sex tourism then being caught in a hotel room with 11 & 12 year old children really helps to maintain my reputation of not being a paedophile.

But you do you.

But that sort of thing should be dealt with by the law, not by internet vigilantism.

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:

An image of his passport, including his data and photo, has been posted to social media after details of his case came to light.

And yes, obviously everybody who thinks people have a right to due process must be a pedophile.

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.
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.
