This week as seen Thailand in the news again, and not necessarily for the right reasons.
In 1996, Boulder Colorado, six year old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered at her parent’s home; she had been sexually assaulted before death. The murder in its self didn’t attract too much attention, what did, was the fact that JonBenet was a famous juvenile Beauty Queen!
Loads of footage of this pretty girl parading up and down stages, dressed somewhere between a Barbie Doll and a Strip Hooker. It all looked in very bad taste.
The parents battled against the media who were convinced they were guilty; I myself was swayed by the media reporting and knew the Father must have done it.
This week a really creepy dude called John Mark Karr owned up too the murders, this guy who had just got a job teaching 2nd grade kids at an international school in Bangkok confessed to the Police about the murders.
The international media is having a field day, the Thai press have reported on it but that is it. He as said it was an accident and he didn’t mean to kill her.
John Mark Karr has a record of kiddie fiddling in the US and as for several years plied his teaching skills around the world. A lot of holes have begun to appear in his story, including an alibi from his ex-wife!
The story going round the Expat web boards is that he concocted this story too make himself a celebrity and stay out of Thai Jail, A good idea, you are pretty much dead as soon as you enter there.
All this looks bad for Thailand, which 10-15 years ago had a bad problem with child sex. After sterling work from NGO’s, Charities and even the Thai Government, the whole issue is probably no worse than any other country. Unfortunately, even though this sort of crime happened in Thailand, most of the perv’s where from the developed countries that are just sick fucks!
Lets wait and see if the perv Mr. Karr as done the crime? As a punishment he should serve any time in the Bangkok Hilton.
