rooster59 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Austrian pensioner arrested for child porn in Chiang Mai Image: Immigration Bureau The Thai immigration bureau have announced the arrest of a 66 year old Austrian national for downloading and possessing indecent images of children. The Thailand Internet Crime Against Children (TICAC) division were informed in September that someone was using the Dark Web to access child porn. The Thais discovered that this was a person living in the Pa Daet sub-district of Muang district Chiang Mai and obtained an arrest warrant. On November 9th the warrant was served. Pictures published on the IB website showed officers looking at a computer at the home of the unnamed suspect. His computer and hard drive were found to contain a lot of pornographic images of children. He was not named but faces 5 years in jail and a 100,000 baht fine. If it can be proved that he shared the images the jail term goes up to 7 years and 140,000 baht. A Thai woman whose name was on internet usage papers was also pictured on a board next to the Austrian. The Austrian is now in the custody of the Muang Chiang Mai police. Immigration chief Maj-Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn was pictured on the IB site on a board related to the crime but not mentioned as having played a role in the arrests on this occasion. Thaivisa notes that it was unusual in such cases for the suspect's name to be withheld.

Probably his name is withheld because his computer etc contains porn, but possibly child porn. Thing is, it is only the "users" of child porn that get arrested if they downloaded files, uploaders go scot-free and nobody seems to be able to delete those files. Of course, this gives the police the possibilities to arrest some "users" and claiming they did a good job, but doing something about producers of this filth seems to be very difficult indeed.

Refer FBI & The Dark Web. Up to 10,000 Britons signed up to 'dark web' paedophile network Paradise Village ... after his site, Playpen, was taken down by FBI and Europol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 "Immigration chief Maj-Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn was pictured on the IB site on a board related to the crime but not mentioned as having played a role in the arrests on this occasion." Then why is his photo there? Actually, he does seem to be getting results in a few areas (pun intended!) but the number of photos from different locations he is in makes one think of him as some kind of "Time Traveller"! P.S. Is he still "Acting" Immigration Chief? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
