Was it Matt Gaetz again?

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.
My hopes are low, let’s put it like that
But they were also pretty low for Robert Murat, so, I don’t like media vigilantism anymore.
Not really comparable between the media feeding frenzy surrounding the McCann disappearance and a US sex tourist being caught in a hotel with 2 children.
I just picked the first one when you google “media ruined life”
It’s a matter of principle
There’s hundreds of examples, pick your favorite
Again, not really comparable.
He is not someone like the guy framed by all the Reddit imbecilic sluths after the Boston marathon bombings, nor is he like Christopher Jefferies, accused by the media of murdering one of his tenants, just because he’s a bit eccentric.
The guy was caught in a hotel room with children in an area known for sex tourism & he chose to bolt the country after his arrest.
It’s not like it’s an farcical comedy where a series of events transpired and his trousers fell down just as the police entered the room.
If you don’t want your name released after being arrested in a hotel with local children entirely unrelated to you, then maybe don’t invite local children up to your hotel and be getting arrested.
Like I said previously, I find it incredibly fucking easy not to be a child raping paedophile. It’s so easy that very little thought goes into it so I don’t have to deal with the consequences of even it being inferred despite no evidence of any crime having taken place.
So much so that I have zero fucking empathy for anyone that is.
Not comparable
It’s a matter of principle, pick any of hundreds of examples if you want a comparison
Again, not comparable
Some people
I’m not the one defending paedophiles.
Do you realize how certain one has to be to accuse a person of such a crime?
Would you want to live in a world where 1 of 100 considered guilty is innocent?
Would you feel the same way if you’d be that?
Do you realize how probabilities work?
If something has a 1 in a 1000 probability, then from time to time it happens.
And then the final question - do you consider it too much of a bother to go through investigative process with civilized legal proceedings to confirm what is true and reduce the probability of a mistake?
“Blah blah blah I’m defending paedophiles”
That’s what your wall of text is saying.
A 3% probability of this being innocent would be too big to discard.
People seem too comfortable with huge margins of error when judging others.
Their stated goal is to stop sex tourists. Releasing the names of the ones they find seems an efficient way to do so.
We all know what he was doing, the comment is saying let the law charge him before the public just brands him.
At a press conference, Mayor Federico Gutiérrez said that he would be signing two decrees: one, prohibiting sex work in the area of Medellín for six months, and another, the enforcement of a 1 a.m. closing time for bars in the area for a month.
So now people will not be able to make a living because of this scumbag. Were I a sex-worker in the area, I’d be pretty pissed off. I don’t know a better way to address this, I’m just saying that this is why we can’t have nice things.
A far better solution would be to get the sex workers to help with finding and stopping paedophiles & the pimps who support this horrific shit
Get the police to worth with, not against, sex workers.
I’d bet anything that sex workers would be able to help identify and track down under-age prostitution.
I hadn’t actually considered this. I think you’re probably right.
This doesn’t even address the problem. Literally doing nothing is a better solution than the one implemented.
Wtf is wrong with people who are pedos. There must be some chemical imbalance that we should be able to fix by the time kids are 10 and never become pedos. I mean it’s wishful thinking but damn it’s 2024!
It’s important to note that the attraction to kids, and actually diddling them, are technically separate things.
No normal person has trouble not raping people of the opposite gender, no matter how wild their libido gets.
So while research has essentially proven that the condition itself can’t be cured, it doesn’t automatically mean a person also wants to rape.
It’s when those two things go wrong at the same time, that you get a monster.
So basically, teach consent. If you don’t raise a rapist, they’re not gonna end up a child molester, even if they feel the attraction.
Also “fixing it by the time someone is 10” is gonna be difficult. People tend to be attracted to people their own age, so what, is a 14-year-old a pedo if they do something with a classmate?
I’m going to respond to your last point. First, Jackie Chan wtf meme. Second, kids becoming sexually aware while they are the same age and want to experiment, fine whatever. My point was older people taking advantage of straight up kids between ages of months to 17 years old. That’s not a typo, i said months because there are straight up fuckin monsters out there. I wish there was something, say vaccine ( i know, controversial) or another form of medicine that could remove the urges or feelings that a potential pedo might have later in life before it’s too late. That’s why i said age 10, since i don’t think kids become aware of their body until they hit puberty.
So, like a no-attraction-towards-less-than-18-year-olds-allowed-vaccine that we just give everyone? That would work.
You don’t need to be passive aggressive about mentioning months. I know. I can also tell you that unfortunately the condition isn’t chemical. People are born with it.
My point is that you only get a molester when they have the condition, and also lack the control that all the rest of us have for not raping people. As such, removing the urges is only solving half the problem. You’d still be letting people who’d rape adults through the cracks.
Dealing with those types of people would counter both pedos, and rapists in general.
Consent training is the real solution, and is what actual “treatment” for pedos seeking help currently consists of, and in some cases just total libido suppression through medical means.
Is that something done in the US? I was always under the impression that it’s just prison. You can’t even talk to a therapist about it because they have a duty to report you so again, prison.
But I can’t exactly claim to be an expert, it’s just what I’ve gathered from these conversations as they pop up over the years on reddit or whatever.
It varies by a lot. It doesn’t help that the research is scarce and seldom consulted on legislation.
I think a lot of people afflicted just never tell anyone. As long as you’re otherwise stable and in control of yourself, anyone who has only that one thing wrong about them, could extremely easily take it to the grave. It’s by far the best option to live a decent life.
If you don’t need someone else to stop you from acting on it, why tell anyone, ever? It can’t be cured, so the only “help” available is to teach you self-control, or like you say, in some places, prison. If you’re among the 99% of people who already have self-control figured out, why speak up and just complicate your life?

The sexual orientation argument is a landmine.
Though it illustrates aspects of the point, it draws a lot of other uncomfortable parallels for people that really really aren’t part of it.
And then you’ll spend twice as long dispelling the BS it makes people assume about the point you’re making.
I was confused by reading it “after US citizen found with two girls at a hotel”.
I think I was thinking about adult tiny woman. But now I realise where the problem is.
Passport Bros are a disgrace to human race.
Death penalty for pedos would be a quick deterrent
