It is naive to think that the legal system works the same in poor countries as it does in the Western world. Even in Canada, USA, and Europe the arm of justice doesn't give fair punishment to child molestors. I understand villagegirl outrage but the Holier-than-thou, personal attacks, and irrelevant facts (such as having a degree in 1977, a brother with a law degree, and living in developed/wealthy nations) does little for her arugements.
Having a brother as a Lawyer or using Google doesn't make you an expert on laws nor having any understanding on what happens in very poor countries. First, there are SOL on sex crimes, including child molestations. SOL vary by States and some may not have SOL on sex crimes. Most states seem to not have SOL on minors but then again what they define as minor can vary. SOL are being changed as I know in Florida it was modified in 2010.
Now for a personal story and no I will not give names. When I was 12 yrs old my parents moved to a new town. Our neighbor was very wealthy and lived alone. He was 79 years old at the time. After developing a friendship with me and my brothers he started giving us liquor. It was my first time drinking Rum and coke. He then moved on showing me pornographic magazines. Soon he got comfortable enough to try to grab my penis. He told me he wanted to check how hard I was. Because I pulled away and got mad, he never tried it again. At that age I really didn't know anything about child molestation. Even though he never tried to touch me again I later learned he did have relations with young boys in the neighborhood. The first part of this story is being told so you know what he told me was probably very true.
He would leave four months of the year to travel to Nepal. He had lots of money and could do this and has done it for decades. Though he never tried to physically touch me again he would sometimes move the conversations to sex. In his own admission he would go to Nepal to have sex with young boys. The parents would allow it because he would give them gifts. The authorities would look the other way too with bribes if he was reported. Do I know for a fact thist took place? no, but I do know for a fact he was a child toucher, went to Nepal every year till he died, and not ONCE ever was arrested in Nepal. I have no doubt he molested boys in Nepal. It was much easier and less riskier for him in Nepal.
I've visited other countries as an Adult. One of the countries I visited was the Philippines. I've stayed in Manila, Cebu, and Bohol. Let me tell you that the officials there are very corrupt. Child rape happens there by Americans, Australians, Europeans, Japanese, ect... all the time. The officials will look the other way. Hell, I've seen someone get run over and laid in the street with his brains on the sidewalk for hours before the authorities arrived. Does this mean I'm calling Filipinos uneducated? no, Most I knew could speak three languages. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was molestations happening in Kingdom Halls there. The ones that get caught seem to be because they got caught up in a USA FBI sting for international child sex trafficking.
