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

He took two 12- and 13-year-old girls into his hotel room just to talk with them about how dangerous it is to go into hotel rooms with strangers, he totally wasn’t going to do anything else, he swears.

Could be framed too

That’s why we rely on courts

The events began on the night of March 27th at around nine o’clock, when Livingston attempted to enter his room at the Gotham City Hotel in Medellin with what appeared to be two underage girls. A hotel staff member prevented their entry, so Livingston and the girls left the hotel located in the famous ‘El Poblado’ district.

Hours later, around four o’clock in the morning on March 28th, with no security checks at the establishment’s entrance, the American managed to enter his room with two different underage girls aged 12 and 13, as evidenced by security camera footage.

Following an anonymous call to the national police, the authorities arrived at the hotel and inspected the premises but found no evidence of the accused touching the minors, and both girls denied being touched. The 36-year-old suspect was detained for 12 hours at a Protection Transfer Center (CTP) but was released hours later, allowing him to return to his country on Monday, March 29th. The girls were seen by security cameras leaving the hotel calmly, seemingly counting several Colombian 50,000-peso bills.

Did someone frame him into bringing underaged girls to his hotel room in an area known for sex trafficking twice? Did they put the used condoms in his wastebasket? Or do you think it’s far more likely he is a pedophile who was caught in the act?

You do not, in fact, need to run defense for pedophiles.
