Scots paedophile arrested in Thailand after eight years on the run

[misskit]

A Scot has been arrested in Pattaya after he fled Scotland eight years ago over an indecent images conviction.


William Dempster, from Lanarkshire, was found guilty of possessing indecent images of children in 2014.


The 46-year-old was convicted in May 2014 and fled the UK before he could be sentenced.

He is then believed to have travelled to Thailand.


The Royal Thai Police, working with the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Police Scotland, arrested Dempster on an international warrant on Monday.


Police Scotland say he will now be subject to extradition proceedings.

Probably should have headed to Cambodia overland.

That seems to be where filth like him end up in these parts.

No sympathy. Even decent perverts stay away from children.

Given the Japanese tourist freaks and local Thai village incest/molestation/rapists proliferate here with almost impunity I rather think your outrage, like all the farang invective, is as relevant as your early morning farts.

Always amuses me how the NCA Bangkok and UK authorities prioritise foreign based paedophilic offenders when the tsunami of kiddy fiddling by the Catholic establishment in the UK through its ministries embedded in society has still not been properly investigated. Foreign expenses, allowances and the lure of exotica is much more interesting, it seems.

You don't consider him to be 'filth', then.

That could be relevant to your choice of locale.

I see Reg Dingle is heading back there for Christmas.

Statistically, most sex offenders, and particularly those who prey on children, are victims of abuse themselves. I tend not to emote as you hysterical fishwives and, let's be frank, blue collar oiks do. I prefer to maintain objectivity.

[cyrille]

I merely called him ‘filth’.

I don’t see him as a victim, but if you do that’s a matter for you.

You tried to make my post into something it isn’t so that you can dust off your template antagonism.
