Convicted Child Sex Offender JOHN E ECKER From Florida Arrested in Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Judging from the defence of paedos by a few on here, I'm pretty sure we could reduce sexual abuse of children if a few CEO posters didn't keep supporting paedos in a passive-aggressive way.

'How do you know he's guilty?'

Come on, do we really need this on here?

flb you have way more patience than most, that guy should be gone, imo.

Am I correct in that you're basing that opinion on that one charge that you really don't know anything about (unless you know more that you're not sharing)? Because based on that charge he's not a convicted child molester - not even close actually. He had pictures, his "crime" violated a piece of legislation.
How many pictures do YOU have of children involved in sexual acts on YOUR computer/in your home?

Christ. APLE's contact #, anyone?

They told me people coming from Cambodia should start getting used to it (so much for random). Anyway, my computer was confiscated and returned in the mail 5 days later, but not until after they scanned the deepest darkest corners of it using some of the most powerful computers and software in existence... ask them your stupid question.

As to APLE's #... why would you want that? Could it be because they're tops on the NGO list in the country for having members caught diddling with little kids and you'd like to get in on some of that action? Lol, go crawl back in your safe space.

I say what I mean, there's nothing hidden in my words. Respond to what I say, not to what you conjure up in your mind what I said.

Lastly, my initial comment wasn't even necessarily about this case. It was about how people respond and condemn others so quickly with mere scraps of information. Someone being called evil scum based on an accusation from 10 years ago that DID NOT lead to a conviction is what got me to comment.

I agree with that, however people get all extreme when paedophilia and child porn is mentioned, and seem unable to converse on the topic without being defiantly opinionated or emotional. That in itself is interesting, from a human psychological viewpoint.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

He was required to register as a sex offender and was in possession of photos of children involved in sex acts.

What else do you need?

What kind of trashbag obtains and keeps pictures like this?

Facts we have are:

-he was charged with 20 counts of having pics involving some sort of sexual performance, which for all we know was nothing more than a collection of 17 year old girls 1 day shy of their 18th birthdays, having a banana deep-throating contest. Perverted? sure whatever; illegal, dangerous, or justification for being branded a pariah? not by a long shot.
-Adjudication Withheld. If the pics were small children being raped, do you honestly believe the judge would've let him off with the registry?

Unless for some reason the photos in question are released or clearly explained, we'll never know. "Sexual performance" is a vast spectrum that extends from "sick fuck needs to die slowly" to "why on earth would that be illegal?". So for what it's worth, our options are either trusting in the judge's wisdom or not, and the judge deemed this case not worthy of a conviction, i.e. deemed him worthy of a 2nd chance, i.e. meaning the pics were probably closer to the latter. I'm sticking with the opinion that the judge did the right thing... I wouldn't let him near my kids now, but 10 years ago he was probably an all right guy. Again, the judge letting him off is playing a huge part in that opinion.

Anyway, the guy is 50+ and we have 1 piece of ambiguous legal info on him. Maybe more will show up or we'll learn more about that one thing (I sure as hell ain't looking and why anyone would want to is beyond me), but as it stands, it appears he's lived a mostly exemplary life... right up until he went off the rails in Cambodia and started smokin' meth, yelling at the moon, and dancin' around with bottles on his head. :beer3:

Note: I have no desire to keep talking about this guy and I wish I wouldn't have started. If you ask me a specific question I'll still be respectful and reply, but if you just make a comment... have a good one.

Say what? You don't see any legit reasons why anyone would want to know more about his criminal past?

OK, so now you're just trolling, a pedo sympathizer, or both.

Either way, I don't think CEO is the place for you. I will permaban you now, and if you or anyone else thinks I should reconsider, I am ears, but you'll have to make a pretty good case, because to me, and I would assume other CEO members, you have no business being on here.

Okay, I haven't posted on here in a while, but I follow the major threads on facebook. I booted up my laptop and logged in for this one though.

Whatever the case may be about davebodia's argument - and sure he makes some legit points - it's an argument no one wants to hear anyway. That's my personal opinion aside. Now for why I decided to post.

I noticed in his criminal report that the gender of the children in the video's possessed by Mr. Ecker was unknown. This suggests that the children were of a very young age indeed. All the report mentions is that the gender of the victims was unknown but they were minors. This is sick shit no question. Look at the details.

Does it really matter the gender?

I am currently reading, "the Franklin scandal" http://www.franklinscandal.com/
Theres some sick fucks out there and their not just in SE Asia
The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring’s pimps were a pair of political powerbrokers who had access to the highest levels of our government. Nebraska legislators attempted to expose the network in 1989 and 1990, but the legislators' efforts were followed by a rash of mysterious deaths and the overpowering responses of federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI and Justice Department, which effected an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network.
