English Vice-Principal of Golden Bridge School, Mark Smith arrested for sex with a 5yr old after FB allegations
I have referred in previous threads to Doxey's Index of Irritation. Doxey was a geographer, who studied the changing attitudes of locals in the Caribbean to the massive influx of foreign tourists and expats post-WW2. He identified 4 distinct phases, that develop in chronological order. Elation-Tolerance-Irritation-Aggravation.
Thailand seems to have reached Stage 4 and we could be heading in the same direction. I am referring to the attitudes on Khmer social media; not the case in point.

Can't blame them considering the general fucktard behavior of so many deadbeat westerners and criminals heading to live in their country.
And of course there are no Khmer deadbeats, criminals or pedophiles. Or corrupt institutions. I blame the Yuon.

Well yes, ken, there are but then again it's their country and they can behave anyway they like. If milkwood is right and there is growing resentment of westerners then it will be based precisely on the sort of stories that appear almost daily in these pages.
It seems the new 440 narrative is that Smith was somehow set up by unscrupulous Khmers, and a radio host who somehow managed to set him up without naming either him or the school he worked at. This sounds like nonsense to me, and seems to be based solely on people not wanting to accept he might be guilty because they either know him or he doesn't look like a typical suspect.
Let's get back onmore solid ground. According to information I have, the case currently rests on the child's testimony which, I'm told, has been consistent throughout. She says a teacher took her to his place, bathed her and did whatever he is alleged to have done while bathing her. (Incidentally, my take is that this cunnilingus thing is wrong and just the usual 'early story' muddle that happens in all these cases).
Smith's problem is that he has refused to talk to authorities and is refusing to cooperate. This means the alleged victim's account will be given greater weight than usual.
Golden Bridge School is being less than helpful in investigations. Understandable, I suppose, if it's shown that lax security or procedures allowed such a thing to happen.
Police have been working at his apartment to gather physical evidence, and have seized various devices for anything they might reveal. They are also liasing with UK police. Nothing should be read into this; it is standard procedure .

His refusal to talk or cooperate is pretty damning at this stage imo.
If there were some innocent explanation, it would surely be in his best interests to reveal it, even if he had broken rules
On an aside, on a thread discussing this case, some asshole has just said that child abuse is as bad as eating meat
"we get upset that people can inflict such pain on a child, yet think nothing about having animals slaughtered just so we can enjoy a slice or two of bacon for breakfast. the self-serving hypocrisy is overwhelming'
Literally facepalming...

More hearsayAccording to information I have, the case currently rests on the child's testimony which, I'm told, has been consistent throughout.

Take it or leave it. The source is close to the investigation and highly regarded.

Do we know how long the alledged offense too place, prior to her parents discovering the 'yellow infection' in her underwear?
That will be critical information.
Doesn't make sense if indeed Mark did some kissing there.

As I said, all that is misleading nonsense, half-information filled in by police officials based on hearsay and chit chat.Don-Pierre de Plume wrote:Do we know how long the alledged offense too place, prior to her parents discovering the 'yellow infection' in her underwear?

The case centres on what I posted above. The allegation is that he took her to his home, bathed her and the alleged assault happened while he bathed her. The alleged abuse was discovered by the mother while bathing her daughter later.
Refused to talk to which authorities? The CPU/CCF by any chance? Let alone APLE.scobienz wrote:It seems the new 440 narrative is that Smith was somehow set up by unscrupulous Khmers, and a radio host who somehow managed to set him up without naming either him or the school he worked at.

In this case the infection is nonsense, as claimed by that radio woman. I still say it's a setup.
I'll be looking forward to the 'evidence'.
