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.

Chances are pretty high
Not really comparable between the media feeding frenzy surrounding the McCann disappearance and a US sex tourist being caught in a hotel with 2 children.

I just picked the first one when you google “media ruined life”

There’s plenty of examples, pick your favorite

Again, not really comparable.

He is not someone like the guy framed by all the Reddit imbecilic sluths water the Boston marathon bombings, nor is he like Christopher Jefferies, accused by the media of murdering one of his tenants, just because he’s a bit eccentric.

The guy was caught in a hotel room with children in an area known for sex tourism & he chose to bolt the country after his arrest.

Not exactly the “smoke without fire” examples that you could scour the internet all day long for.

If you don’t want your name released after being arrested in a hotel with local children entirely unrelated to you, then maybe don’t invite local children up to your hotel and be getting arrested.

Do you realize how certain one has to be to accuse a person of such a crime?

Would you want to live in a world where 1 of 100 considered guilty is innocent?

Would you feel the same way if you’d be that?

Do you realize how probabilities work?

If something has a 1 in a 1000 probability, then from time to time it happens.

And then the final question - do you consider it too much of a bother to go through investigative process with civilized legal proceedings to confirm what is true and reduce the probability of a mistake?

“Blah blah blah I’m defending paedophiles”

That’s what your wall of text is saying.

My wall of text is saying that you want innocent people to be condemned, fighting against failsafe for that.

Thus you are a criminal and should hang.
