Is there anywhere in the world where more foreigners are arrested for child sex offenses than Siem Reap?
Or is Siem Reap the Child-Sex Tourism capital of the world?

It is my understanding he's never been convicted in Cambodia, he's only been in pre-trail detention, but always been acquired in Cambodia.gavinmac wrote:It seems he was convicted of child sex abuse in Holland, then moved to Cambodia, was convicted n Cambodia of child sex abuse, got a light sentence, got arrested again in Cambodia but the charges were dropped, and now arrested again ast month. Or something like that
He did get convicted in the Netherlands and got a ridiculously light sentence and still managed to violate the terms of his parole.
Also, in the video Visser posted, they tracked down witness of his inappropriate behaviour with kids (sleeping in a sleeping bag with them during a sailing camp), but they never pissed charges.
Basically he is a repeat offender without remorse and keeps getting away with it.

The Post article says this:flo wrote: It is my understanding he's never been convicted in Cambodia, he's only been in pre-trail detention, but always been acquired in Cambodia.
"He later moved to Cambodia, and in October 2011, the Siem Reap Provincial Court sentenced him to three months in prison for sexually abusing five children aged 7 to 13. "
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
Right, but dutch media (e.g.NOS, NRC) say that the case in 2011 was based on 5 witnesses. After Bas R. posted bail, four witnesses withdrew their statement and the fifth (a 7 year old) apparently gave conflicting statements. He was subsequently acquitted.
This version of the events seems to be acknowledged by Terre des Hommes (according to Dutch media)
Now, admittedly, all Dutch newspapers seem to be using the same source (read: are blatantly copying each other), but I still think this sounds like a more likely scenario than the PP post assertion that he was sentenced to 3 months.

Siem Reap is increasingly a pedofile expat haven.
I know I'm unloveable. You don't have to tell me. I don't have much in my life, but take it - it's yours.

"Despite all the victims withdrawing their complaints during the court proceedings, Mr. Reuijl was found guilty of all charges on Tuesday, the APLE statement said."
How does that happen?

The problem with the world is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
It's a criminal case, not a civil suit. Prosecutors can press charges regardless of the (lack of) complaints of victims.PorkPiePorn wrote:"Despite all the victims withdrawing their complaints during the court proceedings, Mr. Reuijl was found guilty of all charges on Tuesday, the APLE statement said."

Seeing as how Reuijl has a tendency to get his victims to change their minds and/or withdraw their statements during proceedings, it's nice to see he got convicted (again, I should add). Let's hope he gets to serve his full sentence
