Re: Alleged Pedophile DAVID BRYANT caught in Siem Reap, Cambodia

In this thread, there has been several opinions and speculation.

Here are some facts....

1. David BRYANT has been an ICE distributor in Siem Reap for at least 4 years. He would supply to bar girls on credit to sell on his behalf. The drugs were supplied to the girls by a third party, so as to distance himself in the event of police action. If those bar girls were arrested, he would deny all knowledge of them and took no responsibility for their prison time. This occurred to bar girls, Sreytouch and Chanton. Until his arrest, he was utilising a bar girl name Sana as his main selling agent.

2. In 2020, his Khmer wife (partner) took the fall for a large quantity of Ice possession found at their home. BRYANT eventually paid $6000 for her to be released, but only after she had been inside for two months. BRYANT himself has previously been arrested for ICE, but was able to pay his way out shortly after arrest.

3. Due to multiple ongoing reports, David BRYANT has been on the Cambodia Child Protection Unit's "watch list" for approximately 4 years.

4. BRYANT has been known to post slander on social media to discredit those who ask questions about his background when they have become suspicious of his illegal activities.

5. It has been a long haul for the Child Protection Unit to gather sufficient evidence to finally put an end to his sordid activities.

It's quite libelous to accuse someone of posting slander.

Not that I know any nonces, as far as I know, but they usually aren't the aggressive, drug taking/ dealing, misogynous types. It's usually the quiet ones that go out of their way not to attract too much attention to themselves whenever I read about them.

As far as I can tell from this thread, he's not actually been convicted, and I'm a big believer in innocent until proven guilty, even for heinous crimes such as this, however, if informationavailable's post is to be believed, especially the fifth point, it does seem like a cut and dry case.

Just goes to show you that nonces exist in every walk of life. Quite eye-opening for me.

Since libel is written untruths & slander is spoken untruths .... would posting a video of someone speaking untruths come under slander or libel?

A pedo drug dealer.... Thats quite a combination.

ChatGPT had this to say:

Prompt
what is the data for people in the illegal drug trade to also be pedophiles

Response
There is no specific data or research that directly links participation in the illegal drug trade with pedophilia. These are two separate criminal activities, and while it's possible for an individual to be involved in both, it's not a direct correlation or common association. Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder, while participation in the illegal drug trade is a criminal activity often driven by different factors such as economic conditions, addiction, and organized crime.

First of all you mention "facts" but offer no evidence.

This post is about the man being involved in underage sex but bring in past illegal drug activity that is not relevant to the present case.

CrapGPT got it wrong again. Pedophilia is not a criminal act.

Any update on this character? Seems he probably paid a bit of tea money to wiggle free, seeing as there hasn't been any update from either the Cambodian authorities nor the US Justice Dept.(which to their credit usually shows interest in these sort of manners).
