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?

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 sniffing these kids, arrested and now has “his card marked” is great

No I meant the psychos downvoting you.
