Canadian pedophile sentenced to jail
Canadian teacher Christopher Paul Neil was sentenced to three years and three months for sexually abusing a 13 year-old Thai boy in Bangkok. The 32 year-old Neil, who has been a teacher in several Asian countries, will serve out his term in Thai prison.
Neil was arrested on October 19, 2007 after an international manhunt finally tracked him down in Bangkok. Hundreds of pictures of him engaging in sexual acts with young boys were posted on the Internet. Neil pleaded guilty to the current charges on May 12, but he will next face similar charges involving the molestation of the 13 year-old victim’s younger brother on October 7 when the trial resumes. Neil has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
The second victim, who was nine years old at the time of the incident, claims Neil paid him a few dollars to perform oral sex on him. Neil videotaped the alleged act, and if proven guilty he could face an additional 20 years in prison. After Interpol posted an appeal for help tracking down Neil, the crime agency received hundreds of tips, and was able to arrest the Canadian within 11 days of opening its campaign.
