Pirmin Ramel became the subject an investigation by APLE after a report from another child protection organization in Cambodia and a report from the general public who came across his online activities as suspicious.

Khoem Vando, APLE's deputy of field operations said, "His ( Pirmin Ramel) offline behavior as well as his online behavior raised serious concerns and warranted an investigation to be opened. After APLE identified a boy who testified that he had been sexually exploited, we advocated strongly with police to conduct official interviews and to identify more victims "

WTF. The first pic looks like he's in bed with the kid. Those are clearly bed sheets.

For such a small country, the Swiss have a disproportionate number of pedophiles arrested in Cambodia.

That said, watermarking photos of pedophiles in bed with underage kids with the "cambodiaexpatsonline" badge is totally creepy.

"Hey everyone! This is our photo! Yes, the photo of the guy in bed hugging a not fully clothed nine year-old Cambodian kid. It's ours! All ours!"

You can't blame the news for the stories they cover. I don't recall DATELINE hiding their name when they did To Catch A Predator.

C.N. has a valid point. It's not a problem to post the story or the pics...but putting the CEO watermark on them is awkward. Those pics will long outlast the news story.

C.N. has a valid point. It's not a problem to post the story or the pics...but the logic of putting the CEO watermark on them is questionable. It looks like "this pedo photo is sponsored by CEO.com. Come to CEO for all your pedo pic needs" kind of thing. We aren't DATELINE. You don't want your site to be associated with those particular types of pics. Those pics will long outlast the news story.

Just sayin'.
On second thought, good advice guys, thanks. Removed.

Those photos are insane. And on FB?!? Is this guy like the stupidest pedophile in Cambodia? Did he want to get caught? Why would somebody involved in criminal activity post photos like that on his FB page along with his location and photo?
