"Life is like a box of chocolate"

"You never know what you are going to get.." (10- to - 270 years in Federal prison)

 

Santa Ana, Calif. (AP) An 86 year old man was found guilty Friday of attempting to travel to the Philippines to sexually molest girls, in violation of a new Federal law aimed at fighting sex tourism.

 

"Seljan, who sat in a wheelchair during the non-jour trial, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, where he allegedly attempted to board a flight with child pornography, sexual aids and nearly 100 pounds of CHOCOLATE"

 

"A Federa agent testified that Seljan told investigators he had: "sexually educated" young girls in the Philippines with their parent's concent since 1983, and that he believed it was legal and culturally accepted in that country."

GOOD! Maybe when he's in prison, he can be on the receiving end and get "sexually educated"!

Don't overburden our justice system with cases like this... What would be the point of sending the guy to prison? So he will die in prison as a burdon to our society?

 

Just take away the guy's passport and photo collection and send him home.

..."just take the guy's passport and photo collection and send him home....."

 

Clifford, are you nuts~?!

 

The guy is an unrepentant, untreated sexual preditor of very young girls!! I have two young daughters --- and it is certain that what ever "home" you send him too, in whatever neighborhood that might be --- young girls will be present as well...

 

This is a guy that deserves to die in prison, --- without the possibility of committing more preditory sexual crimes against the very young.

Better yet.....

 

Let the guy board the airplane and let the Phillippino authorities he is coming and let them throw him in their prisons. There he would definately get what was coming to him.

I agree that this man's actions are dispicable.

 

However, the age of being a "minor" is different in every country. Prostitution and Pornography is also different in every country. For that matter, how prostitution is treated is different in every state in the USA.

 

It is possible that his actions would have been legal, or at least tollerated in the Phillipines.

 

As far as being a sexual preditor in the USA .... you would have to come up with more evidence that he has harmed, or has any potential for harming American Girls.

How about chemical sterilization? Or perhaps just a good old fashioned castration.

"... you have to come up with more evidence that he has harmed or has the potential for harming AMERICAN girls.."

 

First, I find it reprehensible that very young girls of another nation might be considered expendable, but young American girls deserve legal protections from the same predators.

 

But another aspect of this statement that leaves me scratching my head.... The guy is a self admitted, unrepentant sexual predator of young girls --- he is not a "collector" of child porn ---- he is a "doer".

 

Your statement, Clifford, reminds me of the local apologists for recent wildlife attacks on humans and pets --- we see that all the time here in the "Green" Pacific Northwest ----

 

---- The cougar kills a mother trying to protect her son in the Cascades, but since it isn't in the OREGON Cascades, the apologists continue making their absurd assertion: "There has never been a fatal cougar attack in OREGON."

 

But it sure as sh*t doesn't make the cougar any less of a predator....

 

BTW, I doubt any form of castration is going to stop this monster --- I think he gets off on seeing the hope and innocence of childhood go out of the eyes of the children he molests... not sexual gratification...

Off topic, do Chinese in-laws seem to go for American chocolate? Or is chocolate the same in China? I never bothered to check it out.

[cosmiclobster]

perhaps just a good old fashioned castration.

I would put him in jail and smack one nut with a BIG hammer. Then wait a few weeks for it to fester untreated. Then when he thinks he is going to the hospital to get the first one fixed, smack the other one and put him back in solitary confinement to die with his injuries untreated.

 

OR publicly execute him on prime time TV to deter other child preditors

[cosmiclobster]

James: they do have Hersheys chocolates in china, it just costs 3 times more than what it does here.

---- The cougar kills a mother trying to protect her son in the Cascades, but since it isn't in the OREGON Cascades, the apologists continue making their absurd assertion: "There has never been a fatal cougar attack in OREGON."

So, we should kill all the cougars in the forrests because of a single cougar attack somewhere in the world. Was it Washington or Canada? Truthfully, I have never seen a cougar, and would love to see one of the beautiful felines sometimes. The chances of getting killed by a cougar on my next camping trip is far less than the risk associated with driving to the mountains.

 

Here in Missouri, apparently the deer populations are going wild now that all but one preditor has been removed from the forrests.

 

Haven't there been sightings of Bald Eagles eating lifestock in Oregon? Nobody can determine for sure whether they killed the cattle and sheep, or whether they were just opportunistic.... But, maybe we should kill off all the bald eagles anyway.

 

What about the dogs that are killing sheep in Oregon?

 

Now, there have been kids attacked, or maybe even killed by dogs in Oregon.

 

Maybe we should just kill off all the dogs in Oregon too.... One could even make it illegal to own a dog.... that would get rid of that problem.

 

As far as castration or chemical castration.... The guy is 80 something... He has over a 30% chance of having active prostrate cancer... He probably needs the treatment anyway.

 

No, it is not right to go outside of the USA to commit crimes. But, one should also be judged by the local laws.

 

Should we also prosecute everyone who goes to Nevada to gamble and participate in the LEGAL Carnal Pleasures?

 

No, I don't think it right to take advantage of anybody, or young girls. But, if one takes away this man's passport, and put him on parole for the rest of his life, does that eliminate the chances of him doing this in the future?
