CHIANG MAI: Australian man caught with minors
The Immigration Division has arrested an Australian man for having sex with Burmese minors and for owning pornography.
David Leonard Arthur, a 48-year-old Australian businessman, was arrested and charged with obscenity. The police searched a house in Chiang Mai's Sarapee districts and found Arthur with two Burmese boys aged 16, two sex toys and many pornographic CDs.
Lt-General Chanvut Vajrabukka, immigration commissioner, told a press conference Arthur would also be charged with harbouring illegal immigrants. He will be deported to Australia and blacklisted from re-entering Thailand.
"Many foreigners are under suspicion. They put detailed sex information on Internet websites and bring others to have illegal sex in our country. They are being investigated and will be arrested," said Chanvut.

Yeah, it's too bad sickos like that tend to get away with their sickness... though at one point I'd hope their luck runs out - let's hope it's in a country with nasty jails.
What I'm far more worried about is the last statement:
"Many foreigners are under suspicion. They put detailed sex information on Internet websites and bring others to have illegal sex in our country. They are being investigated and will be arrested," said Chanvut.
Damn it! Chanvut is on this board

I would presume they are deporting him rather than jailing him because they have no real proof of the underage sex, if the kids were just there, then does not prove anything, otherwise they would jail him. In Oz they are able to convict and jail any child sex offenders who do this in another country, but I presume they still need the proof, depending on what the pics are actually of, he may get dragged through the sh_t here in Oz upon his return, but a thai jail would be a much better place for them.

Even if this guy were convicted (he's only been charged) in Thailand for breaking Thai law, has he broken any Australian law?
I mean, in England the general age of consent is 16, which is itself quite high for Europe. I think the age of homosexual consent is higher at 18 (used to be 20 or 21), but at the time I left, there was quite heavy pressure to standardise on the lower age. I presume several other countries have already taken this step, and that homosexual sex with 16yo (or even younger) boys is perfectly legal.
Nearly all 16yo boys are way beyond puberty, and can only be regarded as 'children' in the narrowest legalistic sense. I think it is stretching it to regard this guy as a paedophile (if they were 12 or something, then OK). The fact that the boys were 'minors' doesn't mean anything - in most jurisdictions, the age of consent kicks in years before the age of majority.
At any event, this guy may have been a fool for going with boys that age in LOS. I don't think it necessarily means he's a monster. Even under Thai law, he'd probably have been within his rights to have sex with them in a non-P4P context. That's the law as it applies to girls, anyway.
Btw, we're not told what the 'obscenity' charge actually relates to. Could be the CDs or even the sex toys.

He will be crucified in Oz that is for sure.
Having sex with a 16 year old is hardly hard core paedophile stuff.
Do you think the Thais really give a hoot about it?
I don't think so. This is politically motivated.
Just remember the Thais themselves love 16, 17 year old girls and have plenty of them in their massage parlours.

Has it occured to any of our noble vigilantes that there's no evidence as yet that he had any sexual contact with those minors or others? How many of you white knights have a f*ck movie in the den, a dildo in the bedroom and a kid elsewhere in the house right now? Wanna do time for that?
But don't let me be a necktie party pooper...
Talk on other boards is that this guy has been a longtime advocate for one of the minority groups in the northwest and this is just a smokescreen. Furthermore, he's actually being held on immigration charges and this media story is just cover.
