The Duke LaCrosse case pops to mind. Probably easy to come up with more or better examples by Googling Trial by Media/Internet, which has been a fairly popular turn of phrase these last 15 years or so. If I understand G&T, that situation would not have been possible under Australian law.scobienz wrote:Who has been convicted online LTO?
The guy has been arrested and charged. That's a fact and that is what is reported here. His name is all over social media, a social media which rightly or wrongly isn't bound by South Australia law.

Siem Reap Bar Owner Linked to 50-Year-Old Abduction Case
by Janelle Retka | July 27, 2016
A “person of interest” in the notorious abduction of three Australian siblings 50 years ago, who is also under investigation for sex crimes against minors in both Australia and Cambodia, has been identified by a child protection group as 71-year-old Anthony Munro, the former owner of a Siem Reap City gay bar.
According to anti-pedophile NGO Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) and business owners in Siem Reap, Mr. Munro ran the city’s Station Wine Bar—known for its drag shows and large selection of imported wines—before his arrest in Australia last month.
He has since been charged with three counts of sodomy, two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and seven counts of indecent assault for alleged crimes committed against minors in Australia as far back as 1962, according to Australian media.
He is also under investigation in Cambodia for similar crimes, said Khoem Vando, APLE’s deputy director of field operations.
“Munro [is] the subject of an investigation by APLE” and National Police, Mr. Vando said, and has been under surveillance in Siem Reap since September 2014.
“But there is not enough incriminating evidence that the police can act on,” he added.
Mr. Vando said APLE did not know how long Mr. Munro had lived in Siem Reap, but that “two to three groups of possible victims” in Cambodia had been identified.
Without naming Mr. Munro, APLE country director Samleang Seila confirmed on Sunday that he was the same man who was arrested and charged in Australia and named as a “person of interest” in the abduction of the Beaumont children—Grant, 4, Arnna, 7, and Jane, 9—from a beach in Adelaide in 1966. The case remains unsolved, the children were never found and Mr. Munro’s alleged role is unclear.
Speaking from Siem Reap on Tuesday, the manager of the Station Wine Bar, who identified himself only as Vo, said he did not “know about the history of Mr. Tony Munro” but that he worked under Mr. Munro for “about two months” before the venue changed hands. The manager referred questions to the current owner, a man named Kea, who could not be reached.
Other bar owners in the city said Mr. Munro ran the Station Wine Bar for several years but had not been seen for at least a month.
In an interview with The Phnom Penh Post published in July 2011, Mr. Munro said he had recently come out as gay and was launching the first drag show at the Station.
“Up until a couple of years ago, I had been a closet case all my life, so I thought: ‘Oh well, this is one way of having a place for people like me,’” he was quoted as saying.

The Australian Police stated that there was no concrete evidence to link Munro to the Beaumont case, other than the facts that he was charged with offences dating back to 1962 and was in Adelaide when the children disappeared. Hundreds of others with similar tenuous links have been questioned during the past 50 years without any positive consequences, unfortunately.
He confessed and plead guilty to 10 counts of sexual abuse on children in a separate case apparently.

Australian Bar Owner Pleads Guilty to Child Sex Abuse Charges
BY JANELLE RETKA AND PHAN SOUMY | SEPTEMBER 2, 2016
A Siem Reap bar owner labeled a “person of interest” in the disappearance of three siblings in South Australia has pleaded guilty in a separate case to 10 counts of sex abuse involving several children, court records show.
Anthony Munro, 71, the owner of the Station Wine Bar in Siem Reap City, returned to his home country in June after being contacted by the Australian Embassy regarding the charges, according to the bar’s acting manager, Keo Piseth.
[...]
During a court hearing on August 4, requested by Mr. Munro, he confessed to sexually abusing multiple victims in South Australia’s Kangaroo Island, Rapid Bay and the Glenelg suburb between 1965 and 1983, records from the Adelaide Magistrates Court show. [...]
Munro 'nominated' himself as gay? He is hardly going to nominate himself as paedophile. In actual fact the abuse charges from the Royal Commission
that he has now pleaded guilty too are against young boys and girls and he can call his sexuality as whatever he likes, but he is pure evil and a PAEDOPHILE.
Gay men don't have sex with children, Paedophiles do.
SENTENCING NEXT TUESDAY

True that. I remember when he rocked up in SR and cozied up to some NGO friends. Him running a ladyboy wine bar and trying to support kids projects never sat well with me, but I said nothing - more fool me. Sensible folk disassociated themselves quite quickly.whiskyfrommekong wrote:i wonder how many times ive sat next to guys like this in my years living on bar stools in KOW you really never know.....
Tony Munro was requested to attend the Australian Embassy to answer questions about the Beaumont case. No obfuscation: he responded, fronted and was hauled off to Australia. No sirens. His involvement in the Beaumont case seems to have been eliminated, whereas his involvement in other cases has been charged. Your shrill denunciations are loose, gossipy and partially informed.
No wonder you people can't function in your countries of origin.

Who gives a toss whether he was a nonce in one case or another case? The guy is a nonce and it's good that's his life in Cambodia is over. I'm sure he will appreciate your support Caleb as he starts to function so well again in his country of origin.
