Just chop off the infidel's piece and send him back to Canada. Don't waste any tax payer money on the bastard.
The Irony of the history is that this guy will go to our federal prison and He can continue to study with food and everything. Especially specialised's teacher for him.
All He has to do is watch out his ass. And criminals in prison don't like pedophile !

The Canadian prisons are far too cushy. It would be good if he could be sent to the worst hell-hold in the world, forever. I hope dearly that the people of S.E. Asia don't believe that we Canadians support such a monster as this.
good- one scum down, just 50,000 or so to go in cambodia! the western sexpats in cambodia are pedophiles. they also work as pro-democracy activists, schoolteachers, ngo employees, businessmen and even diplomats. this is a bad day for the "democrats".
9:50 PM. The pro-democracy Khmers are the ones who invited these white monkeys to our country.
9:20, we are not blaming Canadian per se. What we are telling you is your people are starving moral education, get it? Find a solution for it before its to late for Canada and the rest of the world.
What is the solution? I have been to your country, and I fell in love with it and the people I met there. I will be back this winter, and do whatever I can to help in some small way. Democracy is not a bad thing, but I would never try to push it on anybody at all. I do believe that everybody has a right to education. Being able to read - in any language, not just english - opens doors and minds to the world.
I have to say, I'm glad I was never called, 'white monkey' to my face. That's pretty hurtful. But then, I guess it's a bit of democracy that allows one to put things like that in print.
I do stand by my earlier comment, that monsterous pervert does belong in a S.E. Asian hell-hole forever...he would be too protected in a Canadian jail.
Time out, 3:54. Are you asking me, "what is the solution?" or are you telling the solution?
The problem is that your culture generated more and more perverts, child molesters, ... year after year that harm not just Canadian, but also spill over and harming African, Asian, ... , and you don't think that that is a problem, is that what you are telling me?
Usually, when people don't admit that they have a problem, they aint going to fix it, but to let it get worse and worse. I told you that you have problem with your moral value. You are losing it year after year and you must keep it under control for your own sake and for others. Get it?
I just wrote a lot...and lost it! I'll try again.
I am asking, What is the solution?
I think you know that every culture in the world has problems. I would never say that perverts are not a problem. In a perfect world there would not be any. The news of this one and any other in Canada, or anywhere else for that matter, is in the news big time. It is very upsetting for probably 99.9% of the population.
If you were ever to visit Canada, you would find the majority of people to be honest, decent, hard-working and very welcoming. Happily, we are a very multi-cultural population...that's what makes us. We are also great believers in basic human rights. That does not include any perverts, molesters or people who would harm the vulnerable.
I would never suggest there are no problems...sadly, there are. As there are everywhere in the world. You seem to resent any outsider coming to your country. Do you blame them for all problems there? Sometimes, you should just take people at face-value. They are who and what they say they are and just want to help. Would you deny basic human rights to any of your country people?
I'm first generation Canadian. I don't know how anybody could claim to be proud of their homeland or their cultural backgroud, but I am incredibly happy to belong here. I am also glad that I am able to do my small bit to help others - both here and overseas.
You seem to resent any outsiders visiting and wanting to help out. Why is that?
8:36, you know you got your set of problem, and we know we got our set of problem, but the difference is we got ours under control, but you lost yours. I hardly heard any asian tourist went to Canada to molest Canadian children, have you? But the opposite is not true.
As for me resent outsiders visiting us that depend on what the outsiders objective is. For instance, if you come to turn us to Canadian people and causing us to produced pervert that is out of control as you have it in Canada, yes, I would resent that. Wouldn't you, if the shoe is on the other foot?
As for the solution, I can't give you any until I come over to learn your culture in more detail and identified the root problem, which is why I propose you try to find it. Don't accepted it as normal, and you can start by admit you have problem, than take it from there. Isn't that logical?
All I can say is, you sure don't know anything about Canada. Yes, we do resent it when people from other countries come here and commit crimes - and it does happen. Too often.
I have been to your country, and I have seen the problems you have there...and I know they are not all caused by foreigners. Far from it.
I'm sorry that you have such a skewed view of us. You're very wrong.
Also...as for calling people of other cultures nasty names, i.e., 'white monkey,' well...that's just plain racism showing. Something I'm very happy to say is not acceptable here, and would never be allowed to be printed in any publication.
I really am sorry for the views you have. You don't seem to "get it."
I have saided that prisoners in Canada has a lots of right. It's doesn't mean at all that Canadians are so bad. In fact, They are one of best nations or maybe the best nations in the world for morality. They share and help people everytime They have the occasions. When one town has a problem, They steps up and help each others. BESIDE IN CAMBODIA, who was supposed to be buddhist's country, make me scare when someone has problem. For example, if one of you has an accident, in Cambodia, the first thing, you better watch out your pocket. Everyone can be a potential thief. And in Canada, I have saw so many accidents that people helping people. That's our moral, Helping each others. In Cambodia, sorry to said, too many thiefs... I HOPE IT'S NOT IN THE EDUCATION OF CAMBODIAN. CAMBODIANS ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR COUNTRY IN THE 60S. NOW I THINK THEY LOST THE INSPIRATIONS. BECAUSE THE STOMACH IS EMPTY. THE MAIN REASON IS THE YUONS BRAINWASH EVERYONE! OF COURSE WHEN THEY WASH, LIKE IN A HOUSE, IT'S COULD NOT CLEAN ALL THE STUFF. I HOPE WE WILL HAVE A REAL LEADER WHOM WILL GIVE THE INSPIRATIONS TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM TO SPEAK AND TO CHOOSE THEIR FUTURES. THAT'S THE REAL DEMOCRACY!
In fact, you can see that bad canadians are outside. Because the canadian's polices here are working hard to track such things. And cambodians police are so corrupted. They catch a bad guy, and They think they're already a hero. Beside a canadian's police catch a thief, He take it as their jobs.
Hopefully, not a such ugly thing happen too much! Not good for the images of Canadians. And of course, not good to our poor Cambodians. CAMBODIA, MY COUNTRY!
Khmer Canadian
9:59, I wasn't talking about people from other countries who went to Canada to molest Canadian children. I know your neighbor has bigger problem than you have with child molestation. What I was talking about was ASIAN TOURISTS (not local Asian who lived in Canada) who went to Canada to molest Canadian. Keep in mind that Asians population is over half the world population, and Canadian population is very small in comparison. Have you heard of such incident? if so, would you mind give me some source/s?
As for me, I am not a racist, and I only called people name when they done us damage and think that is it a normal and nothing they can do about it, que sera sera. If that is not dangerous to our society, I don't know what is.
And what is my knowledge about Canada has anything to do with this? we know you have problem, and you always bragging about your superiority. So why don't you just fixed the damn problem and done with it?
And just because I pointed to you that you have a problem, you called my view squewed, instead of admitted it. What type of logic is that?
10:19, we are not ignoring our problem. The problem in Cambodia is poverty and lack of jobs. It is the worse combination anyone could ever have. Many people are desperate so they lost their pride ... , but nonetheless, we are working on creating job and getting out of poverty. Our tax has been drop to the point where it is almost tax free now to do business in Cambodia because we want to attract businesses here for our people. So don't be so quick to bash us because our job is not yet done, or unless you can show us other country in similar condition as Cambodia and they got out of poverty much faster than us.
As for canadian being an angel or evil, we don't care about your theory. Fact of the matter is they are out there raping and moslestating children and that must be stop. Get it?
I wasn't going to write any more here, but being told that we're always "bragging about our superiority"!!?? I don't know what kind of people from Canada that you talk with - and if that's how they talk to you, then I truly am sorry - but I sure don't know anybody who has a sense of superiority over others. That would be a real loser condition here. As I said earlier, we are very much a multi-cultural society - with a good 50% of the population being immigrants. That's what makes it so special to many of us. I'm a child of immigrants.
You seem to have very set ideas of what Canada and her people are about, and obviously nothing I can say will open your mind to that at all. When I say that you have a skewed view of us, what I mean is that you have your set perceptions and, actually, don't seem to want to believe any differently. I'm not able to travel very often, but I try to do as much as possible... it does help me to learn about and understand other cultures and you know what?...people all around the world really aren't so different. Most want the same things... a home, happiness and family. I do hope you will be able to visit other places and cultures... it's wonderful for opening up the mind.
As for Asians in Canada, or any other race...crime statistics are not kept on what type of crimes different races commit.
Come on, 11:25, stop hiding, bobing, and waving around the bush here. I aint gonna bite you. I am not asking you about Canada domestic crime. I am asking for crime that ASIAN TOURIST committed against Canadian children. Can you just give me a strait answer on how much you know about it. You need not to go into my character for that, which is totally irrelevant to the issue at hand.
As for multi culture, that is also a deception. Everyone is influenced by canadian culture, one way or another. The TV is 90% Canadian. The Radio is 90% Canadian. The school is 90% Canadian ... and 90% of everything is Canadian. Anyone who can't master the Canadian language is most likely to become a poor slob loser. So it can't never be a true multi-culture, but that is not the topic here. So stop bringing up stupid things, will ya?
i have lived in the u.s. for over 30 years and have never heard of an asian pedophile (either homegrown or from abroad) molesting a white child. if there is one case anywhere in north america (canada or u.s.a.) you can be sure that it will be all over the news.
i don't know if cambodians in cambodia realize this, but white people from all over the world seem to regard cambodia as a dumping site for their human trash, including pedophiles and perverts. it should not come as a surprise for this canadian to suggest that neil should stay in asia, because he doesn't want him to get out and molest white girls.
i think khmer people need to wise up and stand united against the western sex predators. many of the the "non-pedophiles" from western countries go to our country to take advantage of poor, underprivileged girls who may of legal age. they're not much better than the ones who molest 4 and 5-year olds.
these westerners even have the audacity to advocate democracy, human rights and present themselves as saviors of the cambodian people. that's why you see a lot of middle-aged westerners all over cambodia with teenaged khmer girls. these couples are not accepted in western countries and would be targeted for violence. but the khmer people don't care. it just goes to show how much they look down at our people.
Thank you for your input, my friend. However, please understand that we are a badly war ruin country. Normally, real khmer who lived in the countryside is very faithfully with their heritage, culture, and tradition. However, because of poverty, they were exploited by Khmer cowards from west who deceived them about Hollywood lifestyle.
As for the fake city khmer minority in the capital and other city. I have given up on any hope for them. They have turned to infidel. They are not Khmer. They have more faith in westerner ancestor than their own. And that is what you are looking at.
6:08 PM, there are plenty of stories both told and untold in Cambodia itelf regarding sexual crimes. Just because the Westerners are more exposed because of their economic prowess both perceived and real, and there are predisposed vulnerable poorers children and adult victims in places such as Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, it does not mean that Cambodia does not have this problem with its own people. The attraction of money and the easiness on how one can get away with these crimes bring both the pervert perpetrators and the victims together for an unfortunate circumstance.
In their own countries in the West, there are laws that are more effectively enforced than in poorer countries; also, there are less would be preys or victims because the population are not in dire needs to earn cheap and dirty money. So, it is very natural to see these Westerner pedophiles in poorer countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. The same is true for the nouveau-riches Chinese or Cambodians paying for "virgin" under-age girls. They are preying on the less fortunate people in very similar criminal way, albeit, more discretely by paying bribes when they are caught, or just being untouchable because of their power and wealth status. The cheapo Western pedophiles usually cannot afford or do not understand the cultural inner corrupt practices, so they get caught and exposed more often. They also become a trophy for the local government to brag on how effective they work.
Regarding the Asian tourists going to Weatern countries not committing those sexual crimes, you need to look deeper into the demographics of these tourists. First of all, most Asian tourists must be somehow in a better economic status and moral standing than the rest of their fellow country men to be able to afford such trips - they are not taking the trips because they understand that Canada, US or France is a pedophile's Disneyland.
Bottom line is, we should not generalize and paint a group of people based on the action of a few. Unfortunately, the freedom of speech and information, which allow the choice of pornography can psycholigically affect some people and bring out their fantasy into real practice. You can also observe all this is affecting Cambodian society as well.
11:55, I didn't said that we don't have our set of problem if you care to check post 9:09. What I claimed was we got ours under control, and westerner failed their responsibility, and they are not doing enough to deter it, not even domestically.
As for your excuses in your paragraph before last. I can't agree with that because there are overwhelming number of Asian population (more than half the world population) and over 100 years time which implied at least 1-2 billions Asian visitors had been to the west. If you hardly heard of a case of Asian ill will toward westerners children then, that mean we got our problem under control, and our moral value played a big part of it.
11:55 i generally agree with your points, except for the following:
"First of all, most Asian tourists must be somehow in a better economic status and moral standing than the rest of their fellow country men to be able to afford such trips."
not true. most japanese earn more than americans; any of them can afford to come to the u.s. to prey on white girl. but they don't. many wealthy asians who could afford to come to the u.s., such as our very own khmer "ek odom's", did not earn their money cleanly and are not in better moral standing than their countrymen, but they do not come to u.s. to commit sex crimes.
No, I won't count on Japanese because of they have been influenced heavily by Westerners since the mid 1800's, and I doubt they have their peverts under control. Some of the rich Asian countries will be Saudi, UAE, Hong Kongers, Singapore, ...
Aside from that even if we have just 10-20 millions Asians visited Westerners over the last 100 years, said a lot about how good we control our problem.
Most rich Asian tourists (those that come without spouses) usually frequent nude bars and brothels. Just because the perverts cannot act out in countries where children or young adults do not have to go through what children in poor third world countries do, does not mean that they have superior standards.
The fact that these western perverts are flocking to places like Cambodia , Vietnam, or Thailand tells that it is arder for them to act out their pervertness in their own countries.
Many Hong Kongese, Taiwanese,Chinese,Singaporeans, Middle Easterners, and rich corrupted Cambodians, have bought young girls, mail-order brides, etc. to satisfy their sexual pervertness, so, there is no high horse here.
To help prevent these westerner perverts from coming to Cambodia to do these kind of things, the Cambodian government has to strehgnten the laws, educate and empower our young and vulnerable children and their parents by lifting them out of miserable poverty. You would almost never heard that these perverts got any chance with kids from good and strong families, but you almost always hear that they exploit those who are the most vulnerable, where a stinking few dollars would lure them into the hands of these degenerate perverts.
continued from 11:32 AM:
If we can achieve the level that would make our children less vulnerable, I believe we ould not see too many of these perverts coming to Cambodia to do these things. If they would have to pay a lot of money to even watch nude dancers, and would be severely prosecuted by the laws if they molested a child, like what many Asian tourists would have to face when they go to western countries, I bet they would stay home and frequent the same nude bars and brothels where Asian tourists go to.
Heck, even old ex-pat Cambodian fools who had lived and saved a few dollars in the West are going back and act like western perverts by marrying young girls who could have been their own daughters or granddaughter's age.
11:47, our culture does not object to old man formally married to much younger girl. This is not the same as child molestation because the old man got permission from the girl parent. The child molester doesn't not got that permission.
Aside from that, you got some good points but it is not practical. We are poor at the moment. the desperation has defeated our moral and pride. Therefore, there is no law that can prevent people from selling their bodies. The only solution is for the westerner countries to do everything they can to stop their citizens from exploiting the unfortunate prople, and they (westerner) have not done enough.
8:58 PM, these countries do a lot more than those poor corrupted countries. In fact, this very story of this alleged pedohile is a result of a western government law enforcement unit who monitored and uncovered the suspect's picture and identification, and then alerted Interpol. It was not one those countries (Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand) where the crimes took place that initiated this action. We have to own up to our own failures, and be determined and courageous enough to reflect on how we have attempted to protect our youngs and vulnerables. We can continue to hide behind our "superior" ego and cultural norms to allow these things to happen.
Whether one's culture says it is okay for a 50 or 60 year-old to marry a 16 year old, or a pervert gives a few dollars to children to sexual exploit them, they both are immoral.
I am not against human sexual desire, it would not bother me at all if these peverts have sex with grown adults who consent to the act, or who do it as a profession, but to ruin an innocent young child's well-being is the lowest anyone can go. That goes to both the perverts who exploit children by tricks and exploits, and the ones that hide behind cultural norms and the lacking of laws to act in similar way.
12:51, We appreciate a couple westerner countries doing something about the issue of their people exploiting the unfortunate people, but they are not seriously attacking the problem. I remember a UK musician (maybe Garry Glitter) was busted for molesting UK children in the UK, but yet they still gave him the passport to get out of the UK to molest Khmer children in Cambodia, and Yuon children in Vietnam, and perhaps other places. That is no way to go. It is irresponsible and careless of the government of the UK.
As for child molester, the different lied between stealing some one girl as a thief and getting someone girl with proper permission. Of course there is no different in the sexsual intercourse between the two. Thus, the only immoral part here is stealing, not getting the girl with proper permission. And because we have the blessing of millions of our ancestors over many generations for an older adult to married a younger female, that give us enough confident level to considered it appropriate. On the other hand, we don't know who would ever blessed a thief. Thus, this is obviously immoral.
1:57 AM, I hope you will be blessed to have many daughters who will one day soon get married to some of your current friends!!! Unbelievable!!! Incredibly moronic!!!
By the way, Gary Glitter was charged and convicted with possession of child pronography materials - he stayed two out of a four-month sentence in jail. And, this Canadian guy here allegedly paid the boys for sex, just like your old men and ancestors. Get me an evidence where a parent and a young child honestly agree to marry any old pervert if it was not for his money and power; until then, you will not get any credit for standing up to protect perverts of your own race.
Thank, and I hope you to will be blessed with boys and girls to matched with their gays and lesbian mates as your westerner forefather, just despicable!
And that is no excuses, the UK knows the musician is a potential child molester, they could have done something about that. And to make thing worse, they knew for sure that he was a child molester when we deported him back, still they didn't do nothing about that, and I bet they still didn't do shit about him when Vietnam deported him back.... If that is not immoral culture, I don't know what is?
Where did I said a parent granted their young child to a pervert. Your brain must got twisted up. I said to and older adult. It used to be as young as 14 years old. As a matter fact, they are still doing it in some part of Laos. For evidence, it is not recorder on the net. However, if you live in a large Khmer or Lao Community, you can ask them for evidences about their grandma and pa, I am sure you will find some, especially with the Lao people.
