Dutch pedo deported to be jailed in Belgium

Manekseka Sangkum: 

Under this CPP regime Cambodia is a magnet to all the wrong elements  and a haven for many for all the wrong reasons. Paedophiles, Mafia, drug smugglers, gambling rings [actively encouraged through casino operations], unscrupulous investors prospecting in mining and precious minerals of all kind as well as in the hitherto lucrative timber trade, uncontrolled influx of immigrants/settlers from a more populous state to the east with a long unhappy history of using its population as one means of claiming foreign territories ... Even the individuals swarming the regime with all their shady morals and characters tell us plenty as to the core traits and behavioural patterns of the regime in question. 

Both paedophilia and political tyranny are essentially defined by the same misplaced urges in the human psyche to do harm and violence to their defenceless victims. Both may have no certain clinical cure or treatment, other than what responsibly organised society and its civilised laws can offer in opposition. 

Today we may see another paedophile expelled, yet for every one of them caught and prosecuted, how many more are still at large, or in deed, converging on the Kingdom?

Dutch pedo deported to be jailed in Belgium

Convicted Dutch pedophile Pieter Ceulen yesterday left Phnom Penh on a 7:30pm flight for Bangkok, according to Hank Werston, the Dutch police liaison officer who was to accompany him on the flight.

From Bangkok, Ceulen is scheduled to take a direct flight to Belgium, according to Child Protection Unit (CPU) director James McCabe. Once in Belgium, he will begin serving a 19-year prison sentence for a hideous catalogue of child sexual abuse across several countries.

Ceulen’s deportation was touch and go for a while, with a crucial signature missing from his paperwork until roughly an hour before he was scheduled to fly, according to Werston.

On January 21, an Antwerp court found Ceulen guilty of a string of child pornography production and sexual abuse offences committed in Cambodia and the Philippines, some against his own foster children.

That same day, Ceulen’s neighbours saw him arrive at his villa in Siem Reap. He had been allowed to leave Belgium while on trial thanks to an administrative error at court.

After nearly a month and a half on the run, Ceulen turned himself in at a Phnom Penh police station on March 10.

Cambodia does not have an extradition treaty with Belgium. Local media reported that officials considered trying him in a Cambodian court for the crimes he committed in the Kingdom, although finally it was decided he should serve the sentence handed to him in Antwerp.
