2 GAY MEN ADOPT BOY CHILD AND SELL HIM 2 OTHER PAEDOHILES- aussieland
Man gets 40 years for trafficking adopted son to pedophiles
By QMI Agency
An Australian man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for trafficking his son to pedophiles around the world.
Police said it appeared the boy, now eight, was adopted for the sole purpose of sexually exploiting him, according to media reports.
Mark J. Newton, 42, pleaded guilty Friday in Indiana court. Prosecutors accepted a plea because evidence was too graphic to show a jury.
Newton, a U.S. and Australian citizen, and his long-time partner, Australian Peter Troung, 36, were arrested in 2011 after New Zealand police discovered the boy was used in child pornography, the reports said.
Police raided the couple's homes in Cairns, Australia, and in California, and found evidence of the boy's lifetime of abuse.
Troung has been convicted but not sentenced.
The couple took the child to countries including the U.S., Australia, France and Germany where he was abused by numerous men, media reported.
The judge said the boy's abuse began as early as two weeks old after the couple "bought" him for US$8,000 from a Russian woman.

THE PAEDOFILE: Face brought to book as Sunday Mirror shocks its readers
Some justice at last as IoS article reveals reality and female abusers enter the frame
Unwilling to bow to the Rule of Law (probably because legislators are unwilling to pass a law) Facebook has begun a clampdown on child abuse images….prompted by the tabloid Sunday Mirror’s investigation. This does tend to show you what really motivates internet suppliers and ISPs: they don’t GAF about politicians and police, but they do fear the public – because without us, they are nothing. This is a lesson the entire blogosphere needs to learn.
Mark Zuckerberg’s 1984 Trojan Horse will now start to trawl thousands of pages and groups to clean up its site. Shadow Culture Minister Helen Goodman praised the Sunday Mirror revelations, but said that Facebook "still has to do more". Camerlot said nothing. And Google has done nothing. Funny, that. Also Ms Goodman said nothing about Labour’s endemic local government perversion problem. Like they say, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for a Goodman to do nothing.

ITALY
Global online paedophile network bust
2012-03-08 16:39
Rome - Italian police have broken up a paedophile network spanning at least 28 countries that used social media websites to swap pornographic images and videos of child abuse.
Ten people have been arrested in Italy, the United States, France and Portugal, and another 112 are being investigated on suspicion of child pornography, Italy's computer crime police bureau NIT said in a statement.
Police carried out raids in several countries on Thursday morning in "Operation Nanny" to dismantle what NIT called "an extensive international community of paedophiles".
Investigators froze computer data in US social network servers and took down several online communities that served to recruit new members and pool illegal material.
The data revealed an Italian-founded criminal group with more than 700 followers around the world, exchanging thousands of images and videos, NIT said

JERSEY
"Yet Another Of Jersey's Finest Paedophiles On Parade"
Jailed: Islander who ‘bought’
children to abuse
Twisted Pervert Paul Renouf
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4752417/Brit-paedo-pays-Bulgarian-family-60k-to-abuse-sons.html
A Jersey paedophile who paid poor parents in Bulgaria £60,000 to sexually abuse their young sons has been jailed for four years.
Paul Renouf's victims were just 11-years-old and given to him for weekends and holidays, a Bulgarian court heard.
http://therightofreply.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/yet-another-of-jerseys-finest.html
COMMENT:
This could possibly have been preventable had Jersey had a sex offender's register, but no as ever it only came into force in the last couple of years. He probably would not have got into Bulgaria had one been in force.
As ever, Jersey's finest have a part to play in the lack of this legislation many years ago.
And....may the bastard rot.
COMMENT:
No one has come up with a way to prevent an a paedophile's first act of abuse, but we do know almost all become repeat offenders. So many cases of child molestation and of even adult rape are not reported or prosecuted, and those that are result in weak ineffective sentences, if any, and almost no long term monitoring. That is the reason there are so many more criminal acts of child rape by Jersey paedophiles. They are simply not stopped or managed in any meaningful way. We should simply expect horrible and unspeakable repeat offenses from these monsters, the kind of crimes which ruin the lives of their innocent victims if we do not make every effort to prevent them from continuing. Jersey authorities seem to think paedophiles will stop raping children if admonished or given a light sentence, which is absurdly stupid and irresponsible. An abundance of statistics and other scientific evidence proves these offenders will just reoffend. That is why this bastard's first offense should have been his last, and undoubtedly, he began offending before that first UK conviction. The system is guilty for what was done to all these children subsequently.

Can treatment change paedophiles?
By Maya Fish BBC News
The missing girls dominate the news in Belgium
Belgium has been gripped by another case involving missing children. It is nearly three weeks now since two schoolgirls, aged seven and 10, disappeared in the city of Liege.
The police have used helicopters and sniffer dogs in a desperate search for them and have sifted through the city's collected rubbish.
A suspect, Abdellah Ait Oud, 39, turned himself in to police after the authorities had publicised his details, but has denied any involvement.
On Wednesday Belgian police discovered two bodies.
The disappearance of the girls brings uncomfortable memories of a horrific case in the same city, which started with two eight-year-olds going missing in 1995.
They were been abducted, chained in a dungeon, repeatedly raped, and left to starve. Two teenagers were taken the same year, and after similar treatment are thought to have been buried alive.
Two other girls were eventually rescued. The man who abducted all six, Mark Dutroux, was sentenced to life in prison.
'Different mindset'
What shocked many people was the fact that Dutroux had already been convicted in 1989 for abduction and rape of five girls and sentenced to 13 years in prison, but was released after just three years.
Should those who commit sex offences against children ever be released?
Roger Stoodley, a retired senior detective who worked on murder and child abuse cases for many years in southern England, says it is very difficult to justify releasing from prison a paedophile who has killed or seriously assaulted children.
Marc Dutroux is unlikely to ever leave prison
"Paedophiles have a mindset different from other people's, most of them think that what they are doing is quite normal and they reoffend at every given opportunity."
Most people use the word "paedophile" loosely. Their understanding of the word is based on high-profile media cases, which usually involve abductions, rape and even murder.
But experts, like Ray Wyre, who has been working as a consultant in the area of child sex abuse for over 30 years, think it is important not to use the word paedophile when talking about murderers like Dutroux.
Canadian system
"Mark Dutroux is a killer, an abductor, and a sadistic offender, who doesn't reflect the vast majority of adults who sexually abuse children," he says.
In the paedophile world, Mr Wyre says, "adults form a relationship with a child, they make the relationship secret, and they introduce sex into it, putting the guilt, blame and responsibility on the child, making it impossible for the child to tell anyone."
In Canada, sex offenders including those who offend against children, are automatically required to attend treatment programmes as a parole condition.
They choose to offend against children
Professor Bill Marshall, an Australian working in Ontario, has 37 years of experience in treating sex offenders, many of them paedophiles.
He treats inmate sex offenders of whom - he says - only just over 3% reoffend. The treatment is a combination of psychological therapy and, when necessary, medication.
He uses the so called anti-androgens, drugs that lower testosterone levels, or the selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors, or SRIs, "which have been shown to control all manner of impulses like smoking, shoplifting and obsessive compulsive behaviours".
The killing of Sarah Payne by a known paedophile shocked the UK
But are paedophiles curable? "I wouldn't use the term curable because this is not some medical disease that you can be cured of. These people have control of their behaviour.
"They don't grab a child in the middle of a public place and assault him; they are very careful about the way they go about it. They choose to offend against children.
"Whether the guy goes in his grave still being interested in children - as long as he never does it again - I don't care what's inside his head. I care about him stopping hurting children."
Experts agree that treatment - which is expensive, complex, long, and drawn out - can help paedophiles change their behaviour.
'Why was I abused?'
But only those paedophiles who get caught are referred to experts for assessment. The vast majority - some experts say perhaps 95% of them - do not get caught.
Many child victims do want to know why they were abused. Shy Keenan, now in her early 40s, was sexually abused for years from the age of eight - by her stepfather and a number of other men.
"I've wrestled with this problem all my life - why did they do it to me? I spoke to one of these child molesters. I asked him - what is it that would stop you? What kind of treatment would help you?"
"His response was 'I like molesting children, it's great, what I hate being is a child molester, and if I could stop it tomorrow, I would'."

Global paedophile ring busted in Russia
An international ring of 130 paedophiles has been busted in Russia, a public organisation said Wednesday.
The League of Internet Security said it broke the ring in cooperation with the police.
League president Konstantin Malofeyev described the ring as the 'largest in the history of Russian internet'.
Most of the ring members were Russian nationals. There were also German, French and Israeli citizens involved, as well as people from many former Soviet states.
In October, the Russian parliament's lower house, the State Duma, approved a bill stipulating chemical castration for paedophiles.
President Dmitry Medvedev said punishment for paedophiles should be 'as harsh as possible'.
The bill also stipulates that paedophiles should be stripped of the right to plea for a suspended sentence and re-offenders for sex crimes against minors will face life sentences.
The chemical castration procedure involves regular injections leading to a fall in levels of the male hormone testosterone, which suppresses sexual drive.

Libya aiming to make rape in armed conflict a war crime
The testimony of a woman who was sexually tortured under the Gaddafi regime is proving a catalyst for political change in Libya

When Hussein was searching desperately for his son in the last days of the 2011 revolution that toppled Libya's dictator, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, he was told of a villa in Tripoli. He and other anti-government fighters went there on 20 August.
They found nothing. At first.
But inside was a massive door that it took them a long time to open. "Beyond it was a long, shallow flight of stairs – about 80 in all," says Hussein, 57, whose full name is being withheld at his request.
At the bottom was a torture chamber, including apparatus for electrocution. Beyond was a corridor lined with cells.
"When we broke into the cells, we were astonished," says Hussein. "The first three were full of naked women – maybe 35 in all."
He and his companions could not have guessed, but they were setting in train a sequence of events that has led to the drafting of a bill that Libya's new leaders and NGOs believe is a world first. It would make rape during armed conflict a war crime.
"It has already been discussed in committee," says Juma Ahmad Atigha, deputy president of the general national congress (GNC). "In a few weeks it will be put to a vote in the GNC."
Atigha, who was in Rome this week for a conference on reconciliation in the Arab spring countries, points out that rape is already a crime under Libyan law. "The usual sentence is around 10 years," he says. But rapists convicted under the proposed new law would face life.
It has yet to be decided whether those affected would be entitled to a war pension. But, says Atigha, it was agreed that they should get lump-sum compensation from the state. "That is a must. The plan is for the courts to set the level of compensation case by case. Among the criteria would be whether a pregnancy resulted from the rape and the severity of the injuries suffered by the victim. Some of these women died."
Getting the bill to this stage was not easy, Atigha says. "Ours is a conservative society and anything that has to do with women is very sensitive. Rape is a very big scandal for a family, even though the woman has been forced: it is an attack on the dignity of the family, and the tribe to which it belongs.
"But that is why the regime used rape. So it was logical to regard it as a war crime."
The number of women affected ran into the hundreds, according to Atigha. Nicoletta Gaida, president of the Ara Pacis Initiative, an Italian NGO, thought it could be thousands.
The turning point for the bill came at a conference in Tripoli on 4 May, Gaida says. Her NGO and a Libyan one, the Observatory on Gender in Crisis, had arranged for one of the women freed by Hussein to be present.
Defying the taboos of Libyan society, she stood up and – in appalling detail – told her story.
"She was one of three sisters who, in the early stages of the revolution, had put an anti-Gaddafi post on Facebook," says Gaida. "They were arrested. For nine months, she was sexually tortured with everything you can imagine. When you say rape you think of a man violating a woman. But this was far, far worse."
By the time the young woman had finished her account, the Libyan minister of justice and several other men present were in tears. "It was then that she turned to the minister and asked him: 'What will you do for us?'", Gaida recalls. "The minister stood up and said: 'You and your sisters are the pearls in the crown of the new Libya'."
The idea that the survivors of rape might be thought of as anything but a source of disgrace was a drastic break with the past, and helped the bill being pushed by the Observatory on Gender in Crisis to get the government's backing.
"The main problem once the law has been passed will still be a cultural one," says Atigha. "We know many victims prefer to keep what happened a secret. One thing we want to do is to ensure cases are dealt with by female investigating magistrates."

Poland okays forcible castration for paedophiles
Last month Poland approved a law making chemical castration mandatory for paedophiles in some cases, sparking criticism from human rights groups.
Under the law, sponsored by Poland’s center-right government, paedophiles convicted of raping children under the age of 15 years or a close relative would have to undergo chemical therapy on their release from prison.
"The purpose of this action is to improve the mental health of the convict, to lower his libido and thereby to reduce the risk of another crime being committed by the same person," the government said in a statement.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said late last year he wanted obligatory castration for paedophiles, whom he branded ‘degenerates’. Tusk said he did not believe "one can use the term ‘human’ for such individuals, such creatures."
"Therefore I don’t think protection of human rights should refer to these kind of events," Tusk also said.
His remarks drew criticism from human rights groups but he never retracted them.
"Introducing any mandatory treatment raises doubts as such a requirement is never reasonable and life can always produce cases that lawmakers could never have even dreamt of," said Piotr Kladoczny from the Helsinki Foundation of Human Rights.
"If somebody is of sound mind, we punish him. If he is sick, we try to cure him — that’s how it works in Polish law. This bill introduces both approaches. As far as I know, this makes our law the strictest in Europe on this issue," Kladoczny said.
The bill, which also increases prison sentences for rape and incest, must still be approved by the upper chamber of parliament. This is seen as a formality as Tusk’s Civic Platform party holds a majority of its 100 seats.

RUSSIA- Chemical Castration of Paedophiles
The State Duma, the lower chamber of the Russian Parliament, has toughened legislation against sex crimes. Also, the law, approved today in the last reading, introduces chemical castration of paedophiles. RussianLawOnline.Com wrote about sex offences against children in Russia some time ago.
The law provides mandatory chemical castration of those who committed sexual crimes against children under the age of 14 years. Other sexual offenders will be able to choose castration voluntarily to improve their chances of an early release.
The use of the word ‘castration’ in this context is misleading. Chemical castration is, in essence, a drug that temporarily reduces the offender’s libido.
Repeat offenders against minors will face life imprisonment. Probation and deferred sentences for paedophiles will no longer be available. And the percentage of a sentence a paedophile must serve before being considered for parole has been increased from 75% to 80%.
The important defence that at the time of the crime an offender has to know the age of a child has been removed. This makes the prosecutor’s job much easier.
The law also toughens punishment for child pornography. Those involved in it will go behind bars for up to 15 years.

CZECH REPUBLIC: Castration for Sex Offenders Triumphs
by Pavol Stracansky (Prague)Sunday, January 22, 2012
Inter Press Service
The Czech government has defied calls from international human rights groups to stop the 'degrading' practice of surgically castrating sex offenders.
Announcing a raft of new health care legislation earlier this month, Prime Minister Petr Necas said the government would not be putting an end to the controversial practice, defending castration as an efficient method of stopping recidivism among sexual offenders.
But rights groups have questioned the move and even the government’s own human rights commissioner has said the practice is a throwback to out of date thinking on criminal punishments and leaves the Czech Republic out of step with the rest of Europe.
'Other methods of treatment are given preference all over Europe. We consider it normal to castrate an offender and then it’s dealt with. But that is going back in time, like an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
'If an offender is free, they can happily undergo castration, but it should not be part of treatment,' Monika Simunkova, the Czech Commissioner for Human Rights, told local media.
The Czech Republic is one of the few European countries which retains the practice of surgical castration for sex offenders. The process involves the removal of tissue in the testes which produces testosterone.
It is either banned or no longer practised in all European countries except Germany where it is carried out only in rare, and strictly controlled cases.
According to official figures, 85 people underwent surgical castration in the Czech Republic between 2000 and 2011.
The practice has previously drawn strong criticism from rights groups, most notably from the Council of Europe.
It has claimed that although Czech law states that written consent is needed from an offender confirming that they are undergoing the procedure voluntarily, some prisoners had given consent without being aware of what they were agreeing to or because they were afraid of receiving longer sentences if they did not.
In reports in 2009 and 2010 the Council described surgical castration as 'degrading', 'medically unnecessary', 'invasive, irreversible and mutilating' and that the reluctance of the Czech authorities to replace the practice 'by other forms of intervention is disappointing and disturbing.'
It called for a moratorium on surgical castrations pending their final abolition.
When contacted by IPS, Patrick Muller, a spokesman for the Council’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture, reiterated that the Council still wanted it ended, but that it was powerless to force the Czech government to do so.
Meanwhile, human rights groups in the Czech Republic have also attacked the retention of surgical castration.
Head of the Czech Helsinki Committee, Anna Sabatova, said after the government’s decision that the Czech Republic should do as the Council of Europe asks and that other, equally or even more effective, methods of treatment were available, including medicines and psychotherapy.
Czech rights groups have, like the Council of Europe, also raised concerns over the ‘voluntary’ aspect of the practice.
They say that sex offenders in secure psychiatric facilities agree to castration simply because they are desperate to be granted a full release or treatment on an outpatient basis, meaning that the consent is not ‘voluntary’ at all.
Zuzana Durajova, a lawyer with the Czech Human Rights League, told IPS: 'Our concern is that it is very difficult to ensure that the person is really giving their consent voluntarily. They may agree to be castrated so that they can get out (of the psychiatric facility) and that raises the question of whether or not consent is voluntary.'
Czech authorities have defended the controversial practice, saying it is one of the best ways to reduce recidivism among offenders.
Czech sexologists who treat sex offenders have also backed the procedure.
Prof. Petr Weiss, a prominent Czech sexologist, told local media: 'The chances of someone re-offending after surgical castration are about 2 percent. Castration lowers their sexual impulses to a level where they are able to control them themselves.'
He added that the people who underwent such procedures were 'sadists, sexual aggressors and paedophiles' who afterwards led a 'normal life only with the restriction that their sexuality was reduced. But this sexuality has brought them many more problems than enjoyment and many spend their whole lives in prison or psychiatric treatment. I do not see that reducing this sexuality is a great misfortune.'
But critics say there is a lack of reliable studies to back up claims about the effectiveness of surgical castration.
Ales Butala, a human rights lawyer who was part of the Council of Europe’s original delegation to the Czech Republic which called on the country to end the practice, has said the Council found evidence of three cases where previously castrated Czech sex offenders went on to commit violent crimes, including paedophile offences.
Others say that studies on re-offending are unreliable because they involve self-reporting by offenders.
Doctors outside the Czech Republic have also questioned the effectiveness of surgical castration.
In the U.S. and the UK, where chemical castration is practised on some offenders, some doctors say that surgical castration provides no guarantee that a person will not re-offend as their compulsion to commit offences may be driven by mental disorders or alcohol or drug problems rather than being sexual in nature.
They add that non-invasive methods, such as chemical castration combined with psychiatric therapy are as effective as surgical castration which can also cause subsequent health problems, such as osteoarthritis, anaemia and obesity.
The Czech government’s decision to retain the practice comes just months after legislation allowing for the chemical castration of paedophiles was passed by lawmakers in Romania and Russia. Similar legislation was passed in Poland in 2009.
In all three cases the laws were drafted by politicians who said they wanted to take a hard line on perceived lenient punishments for sexual offenders, and dismissed human rights concerns over castration.
Liberal-democrat MP Alin Popoviciu, who drafted the Romanian law, told Romanian media that the legislation was designed to 'stop these lunatics' and that critics of the practice should 'forget about human rights hypocrisy.'
But rights groups say that people cannot be stripped of universal rights because they are sexual offenders.
'Human rights apply to everyone,' the Human Rights League’s Durajova told IPS.

Following on from last week’s Slogpost about Australian man Peter Truong and his partner Mark Newton – who bought a child from a Russian woman in 2005, and then passed him round to their fellow sadists – I am pleased to announce that Newton has been sentenced to 40 years in jail for his crimes. Truong (a seriously unpleasant piece of depravity) awaits his sentence, and two Americans have been charged. But of course, as anye fule know, paedophile sex rings are left wing rumour and innuendo dished out by purveyors of poppycock, harrumph harrumph.
There was a fine piece in the Independent on Sunday at the weekend, an extract from which says a great deal:
‘Anne Bannister is a cheery middle-aged lady from Manchester who has spent the past 20 years meeting child abusers. For the past nine, she has run a consultancy compiling profiles of paedophiles for the NSPCC; before that, she sat with offenders for thousands of uncomfortable hours as a psychotherapist and a social worker.
She knows precisely how they operate: "I could take a paedophile into a school playground and say, ‘Show me the vulnerable children.’ In two minutes he would have picked them out: ‘This child is lonely, that child is a bit isolated, that one is not going to scream and shout and run home to Mum…’ "‘
If you’re not keen on reading about what paedophiles sometimes go on to do, look away now:
‘Last week the Old Bailey heard allegations of just such a case. In October 1994 Daniel Handley, a nine-year-old boy from Beckton, east London, was out playing on his BMX bicycle when Brett Tyler and Timothy Morss allegedly pulled up in their car, bundled him in, and drove him across the capital to a flat above the office where they worked.
There, the court heard, they took turns assaulting him, filmed the act, and drove off down the M4, where Handley was strangled in a lay-by and his body buried in a wood near Bristol. On Thursday the evidence was such that jurors wept.’
I urge you to read Andy Beckett’s piece in full, because it is both moving and well-balanced: cracking journalism. It truly does address just how great is the crime of Establishment cover-up. But also the piece rightly observes, ‘This is how we think of paedophiles: male, predatory, snatching victims at random’. However, it’s not always like that.
An account from the US-based propublica site (not a madhouse in any sense at all) has astonished me this week. In State care systems, the older authority figure can win the trust of the young target by cultivating a false friendship, having heart-to-heart conversations, giving gifts, offering protection. And then the sex ensues, sometimes forced, sometimes seemingly consensual. Thus it wasn’t terribly surprising when yet another report emerging from the U.S. Department of Justice recorded that exactly this was commonplace in the country’s juvenile detention facilities.
The shock was that the abusers were overwhelmingly women. Psychologists familiar with this seemingly contrarian syndrome judge, based on years of field research, that such abuse is never really consensual, and that its long term effects can be seriously harmful….requiring correction officials to stop blaming the young boys – and meaningfully punish the female staffers.
"Many corrections leaders continue to minimise this abuse, arguing that it’s the kids who are manipulating the staff, that these boys are asking for it," said Lovisa Stannow, executive director of the California-based nonprofit Just Detention International, which advocates for the elimination of prison rape. "That’s simply not good enough."
She’s right. The Justice Department just released its latest audit of the problem, having surveyed more than 8,700 juveniles housed in 326 facilities across the country. It estimates that 1,390 juveniles in the facilities they examined have experienced sex abuse at the hands of the staff supervising them – a disturbing rate of nearly 8%. But 90% of victims were males abused by female staff. One in five of the complainants alleged that staff gave them drugs or alcohol in exchange for sex. Yup, that sounds familiar.
The problem with the way we males are wired is that it is all too easy to see the funny side of this. One immediately thinks stuff like, "Well, it would all depend on whether the woman looked like Anne Widdicombe or Kate Beckinsale". Taken as a whole, women forcing males into sex doesn’t tally with society’s conventional definition of rape. At age sixteen, I would love to have been raped by Brigitte Bardot or Audrey Hepburn. But there again, one of my mum’s friends did make a pass at me when I was 15, and I didn’t even recognise it for what it was. Now if you think about it, that does make her advances pretty creepy.
I remain interested in the correlation between having power – and abusing it to abuse the vulnerable. I think it goes at least some way to explaining the link between institutional care, teaching, and politics. But the propublica piece made me rethink some assumptions. Which, in the end, is what human growth during a life should be about. And probably explains why most politicians are overgrown children.

Google plans to wipe child porn from the Web by creating a database of child porn
By Dana Kerr | CNET | Jun. 16, 2013
Photos and videos of child pornography on the Web have multiplied at an alarming rate over the past few years. In 2011, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received 17.3 million images and videos of suspected child abuse, which is four times more than 2007.
Google has announced that it wants to help curb this proliferation of child pornography. In fact, the Web giant plans to take it even a step further -- it wants to completely eradicate child porn from the Internet.
"Behind these images are real, vulnerable kids who are sexually victimized and victimized further through the distribution of their images," Google Giving director Jacquelline Fuller wrote in a blog post on Saturday. "It is critical that we take action as a community -- as concerned parents, guardians, teachers and companies -- to help combat this problem."
Google's plan is to build a database of child porn images that can be shared with other tech companies, law enforcement, and charities around the world. The database will let these groups swap information, collaborate, and remove the images from the Web.
Part of the technology behind this database comes from a technique Google already uses called "hashing," which tags images showing sexual abuse of children with a unique identification code. Computers can recognize the code and then locate, block, and report all duplicate images on the Web. Google plans to have the database up and running within a year. Google has been working against child pornography since 2006 when it teamed up with other tech companies and joined the Technology Coalition, which looks at how technology can be used to end child exploitation. It has also donated millions to nonprofit organizations that work for the cause.
Other tech companies have also been active in battling child pornography on the Web. Microsoft helped develop the hashing technology for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's PhotoDNA program and Facebook uses the technology across its network to ensure child pornography is not circulating through the site.
In addition to the upcoming database, Google also announced Saturday that it is donating $5 million to fight child pornography. The money will be split up between global child protection organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, and Google's own Child Protection Technology Fund.
"We're in the business of making information widely available, but there's certain 'information' that should never be created or found," Fuller wrote. "We can do a lot to ensure it's not available online -- and that when people try to share this disgusting content they are caught and prosecuted."

New tack urged against sex abuse
Survivor of molestation says all par ties should make the issue an election priority
SHERRI BORDEN COLLEY STAFF REPORTER
sborden@herald.ca @CH_BordenColley
Sherri Bain is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Decades ago in southwestern Nova Scotia, she was molested by an uncle when she was between five and 13 years old.
Years later, Bain’s abuser was sentenced to 12 months in jail but only s erved four months.
Bain, 47, of Halifax, started the Facebook group Safety for Our Sisters to address sexual violence against women in Nova Scotia. The group has 571 members.
"I still struggle with shame and guilt, even though I know in my head that it is not my fault," Bain said Wednesday during a round table event she organized in Halifax to discuss sexualized violence.
"You should know the first time I ever heard someone say, ‘We believe you’ was two weeks ago at Avalon (Sexual Assault) Centre."
Bain said sexual assault may only take moments, "but the consequences are forever."
Bain is a close friend of Leah Parsons, the mother of Rehtaeh Parsons. Leah Parsons attended Wednesday’s session. Rehtaeh, a 17-year-old Cole Harbour student, died in April, three days after attempting suicide. She was allegedly raped by four boys in November 2011. A photo of the alleged assault spread throughout her community, prompting months of bullying.
"Since Rehtaeh’s passing, the focus has largely been on bullying and we recogniz e the need to have that addressed but not in the absence of discussion around sexual violence," Bain said in an interview following the session.
"So we wanted to get people together to say this didn’t start because of bullying, this started because of sexual assault.
"When we remember Rehtaeh, it should remind us that sexual assault doesn’t just affect the victim, it affects every person that cares about them. It changes lives; it can destroy families."
Bain invited all Nova Scotia MLAs and party leaders and Halifax Mayor Mike Savage to the session. Other invited guests included political candidates, a church pastor and representatives from the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women, the YMCA, Stepping Stone, Halifax Regional Police, the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre and the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia.
Bain is asking all par ties to make issues related to sexual assau lt a priority in their election platforms.
A community consu ltation will follow Wednesday’s discussion.
"We don’t think that safety should hinge on election results or a balanced budget," Bain said.
Politicians at all levels of government have to look at sexualized violence as a social issue and a safety issue, said Jackie Stevens, Avalon’s community education co- ordinator.
"It’s important that what is available is consistent and sustainable so that every Nova Scotian, regardless (of ) where they live, has access to those services and that the organizations that are providing those services have the ongoing sustainable ability to meet those needs and to grow to address new things that have happened."
There are only three organizations mandated to provide sexual assault services in Nova Scotia: the Antigonish Women’s Resource and Sexual Assault Services Association, the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre in Halifax and the Colchester Sexual Assault Centre.
Nova Scotia has one of the highest rates of sexualized violence in the country. Statistics Canada found in 2009 that Nova Scotia had 75 reported sexual assaults per 100,000 people, 10 cases above the national average. But the province has among the lowest reporting, charge and conviction rates for sexual assault in Canada .

RIGHTS: Castration for Polish Paedophiles Opposed
by Pavol Stracansky (Bratislava)Friday, October 02, 2009
Inter Press Service
New legislation in Poland introducing compulsory castration of paedophiles has angered human rights groups, who claim its introduction is little more than populist posturing.
They say the new law is open to abuse and is likely to be ineffective in tackling sex crimes. The law was passed by Poland's lower house of parliament last week, and is expected to be rubber-stamped within weeks by the upper house and right-wing President Lech Kaczynski.
Human rights campaigners warn that the law, which has also angered EU politicians who have said it could be challenged in human rights courts, has been brought in as a measure to improve the government's image rather than to help stop sexual abuse.
Andrzej Jaroszkiewicz, spokesman for Amnesty International in Poland, told IPS: 'We oppose the introduction of chemical castration by a government seeking to give the impression of 'toughness' in response to particularly notorious cases of sexual violence.'
He added that while governments should do all they can to tackle sexual violence against women and children, making medical treatment compulsory for criminals was wrong.
'This legislation is turning medical treatment into a form of punishment. We are not against the use of hormonal treatments to control the sexual impulses of those with a history of sexual violence, but we support its use as a treatment instead of a punishment, and it should be evidence-based and require the consent of the person undergoing the treatment.'
The new legal provision, which would see paedophiles convicted of raping under-15s or a close relative having to undergo chemical therapy on their release from prison, would make Poland the only European Union (EU) country to impose chemical castration on convicted paedophiles.
It is also part of a package of laws designed to make punishments stricter for sexual criminals, including longer prison sentences for rape and incest.
The law was drafted after a high-profile incest case more than a year ago in which a 45-year-old man allegedly sexually abused his underage daughter for six years and forced her to bear him two children.
The legislation has overwhelming backing from Poles, and when Prime Minister Donald Tusk first unveiled the plans one poll showed that 84 percent of people supported his plans.
Tusk said that he had no concerns for the human rights implications of the law. He was quoted by media as saying that paedophiles were 'degenerates' and that they could not be labelled 'human'.
'I don't think protection of human rights should refer to these kind of events,' he said.
Many activists say that the overwhelming support for the legislation reflects the conservative mindset prevalent among the general population of the strongly Catholic country.
Sociologists say that the Church is one of the biggest influences on public opinion in Poland.
Human rights groups are not surprised by the popular support for the bill. Barbara Grabowksa from the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights in Warsaw told IPS: 'Public opinion is that these kind of people should be severely punished.'
Many have questioned the effect chemical castration will have on sex crimes. The procedure involves large doses of drugs being administered to suppress libido. It is also usually accompanied by psychological therapy.
The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborca, which has opposed the law, has repeatedly published U.S. studies which have shown that two-thirds of criminals convicted for assaulting children were not paedophiles, and had done so for other reasons, including illnesses. Other sexual therapists and doctors have warned that the process is not 100 percent successful in preventing sex offenders relapsing and attacking again.
'Chemical castration will not solve the problem. The cause of sexual offenders' behaviour is their physical state and not their sex drive. Their brains cannot be controlled by this (treatment),' Piotr Kladoczny, a lawyer with the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights in Warsaw, told IPS.
The legislation has also been criticised in Brussels, but European Parliament members have pointed out that they cannot stop it being passed into law in Poland. They say that only the death penalty is completely banned among EU member states and that criminal law is a matter for individual countries.
In some other EU member states, such as Sweden and Denmark, chemical castration programmes are available for convicted sex offenders on a voluntary basis. A similar programme has also been recently announced in Britain.
A controversial voluntary surgical castration programme is also available for sex offenders in the Czech Republic. The practice has been condemned by rights groups such as the Council of Europe, which claimed in a report last year that mentally retarded people had been given the treatment and that some convicts claimed they had been told they would face long-term detention if they did not agree to the procedure.
Czech authorities say they have no plans to stop the practice.
Rights groups in Poland say the compulsory nature of the country's new legislation also raises serious questions about how it could be implemented. 'There are also doubts as to whether or not we should be making rulings on compulsory ambulatory treatments. And it is unwelcome because every mandatory decision can be a source of abuse,' said Kladoczny.

Category Archives: PAEDOPHILES: the Left tolerates them and the Right denies they exist
APRIL 9, 2013 · 6:40 PM
THE PAEDOFILE: Are paedophilephiles simply daft, or is there something else going on?
Helen Reece….is anyone really this silly?
In today’s Daily Telegraph, there is a report (which I have checked out fully) about how Helen Reece, a reader in law at the London School of Economics, called on Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to relax rules automatically banning sex offenders from caring for children. The usual bollocks is applied, viz: such a ban "could breach their human rights".
In an article in the somehow ‘respected’ Child and Family Law Quarterly, Miss Reece suggested that reoffending rates were not high among sex criminals, adding: "despite growing public concern over paedophilia, the numbers of child sex murders are very low."
Ah, right: children abused, not many dead. OK, that is unpleasantly insouciant….but the ‘low reoffending rates’ assertion is simply a lie. Why tell a lie?
Last November, Jon Brown of the NSPCC said: "Reoffending rates for sex offenders have risen in recent years, but until now we did not know how many of these involved the sexual abuse of children. From now on, we want a separate tab kept on the number of child sex offenders in this country and how many go on to abuse again….Any offender with a history of child sex abuse should be considered a risk to children’s safety for the rest of their lives. This is why it is so important they are closely tracked and monitored by the police once they are back in the community."
Miss Reece, by contrast, suggests that the law should be reviewed to introduce an assumption that child abusers pose no threat once they’ve served their sentence. Unbelievable: every last iota of field evidence suggests the diametric opposite. But Reece concludes, "There is no reason why all sex offenders should not be considered as potentially suitable to adopt or foster children, or work with them."
This simply isn’t true. In 2007, child sex-abuse researcher Adrian Powell wrote as follows in his book Paedophiles, child abuse and the Internet:
‘The rate of reoffending is of major concern, as it is estimated that a paedophile offender is 90% likely to reoffend…once a paedophile chooses to offend against a victim, the desire becomes compulsive.’
In the US, the standard medical definition of paedophiliac behaviour records that such people have ‘a mental abnormality defined as a congenital or acquired condition affecting the emotional or volitional capacity which predisposes the person to commit sexually violent offenses to the degree that such person is a menace to the health and safety of others’.
In 2000, the Guardian erroneously suggested , ‘Another popular fear – that all sex offenders will reoffend again and again – is not borne out by the facts. One study that followed up some 4,000 offenders against children over a period of 21 years found that 16% were reconvicted of a child sex offence.’
But cursory research could’ve told this Guardianista author that his conclusion was bollocks: several studies support the hypothesis that sexual offence recidivism rates are under-reported. Marshall and Barbaree (1990) compared official records of a sample of sex offenders with "unofficial" sources of data. They found that the number of subsequent sex offences revealed through unofficial sources was 2.4 times higher than the number that was recorded in official reports. Also, of course, many paedophiles reoffend but get off, and some 23% of all offences go undetected because the child is frightened to reveal the act to adults.
It’s not the first time Helen Reece has pushed claptrap forward as truth. In 2010, she wrote a research report drawing this mind-bogglingly stupid conclusion (my emphasis):
‘Sex offenders should not automatically be banned from adopting, fostering or working with children, according to new research which also backs government plans to relax strict vetting procedures introduced after the Soham murders. It points out that co-habiting couples are much more likely to split up than married couples, with potentially harmful emotional consequences for children, yet they are not banned from adopting and fostering.‘
Here Reece is, staggeringly, comparing sex offenders to cohabiting couples. Is anyone really that crazy, or might there be a hidden agenda here? I mean, the Soham murderer killed two girls because of lax vetting, and an obvious black operation by a paedophile within the Humberside police authority to erase the killer’s rape and persistent abuse from the records.
Well, lets look at the magazine where this lady wrote the 2013 article referred to in the Telegraph. Here is a guide to child-napping featured in the current issue: a publication entitled ‘Emergency Remedies in the Family Courts’. Fulsome in its praise, the CFLQ recommends the pamphlet for its ‘practical guidance on how all emergency applications should be made. Turn to this module for practical guidance when making emergency applications in the family courts on behalf of vulnerable adults or children….’
In 2008-9, I spent nearly seven months investigating these disgraceful lettres de cachet, which turn out over and over again to be backed by dubious cod psychology, put forward by social workers with a suspicious track record of separating parents from children at the drop of a hat, and likely to deliver already traumatised children into the clutches of sexual sadists working in the care and fostering system. But these mad Harmanite loons have learned nothing from the scandals of recent years. In fact – dare I suggest this – they seem to actively support the continuation of a profoundly depraved production line.
Some will object to my reference above to ‘Harmanite’, but it still seems to me that Harriet Harman (the Minister for Families on whose watch not a single reform was brought into the Secret Family Courts – despite endless promises from her office) has a secret factory assembling the parts and then churning out clones like Helen Reece. This is what Helen is studying currently:
‘Current research is concerned with the regulation of intimacy. The main research project at present, Violence to Feminism, is a theoretical probing of the contemporary feminist approach to violence against women. The two main research questions are first, why contemporary feminist theory has celebrated ever-widening conceptions of violence and secondly, why the contemporary feminist approach to violence against women has permeated legal development. Another current research project focuses on changing conceptions of parental responsibility.’
I shudder to imagine what what the regulation of theoretically probed intimacy might be about, but it is clear from this drivel that Miss Reece is from the same Cathedral of warped observation as Harman herself. But do not write the lady off as a fringe lunatic: she is influential. Reece is Reviews Editor for International Journal of Law in Context, a Member of the editorial committee of the Modern Law Review, and a Member of the editorial board of Law, Probability and Risk.
It gets worse, because Helen Reece soon emerges from her previous writings as a science denier. Follow this link, and then lie down somewhere to bring your blood pressure back under control. Here’s a taster from her book Law and Science, Current Legal Issues: ‘Scientific evidence impinges on a wide range of legal issues, including, for example, risk assessment in mental health and child abuse, criminal investigations, chemical and medical products, mass tort cases and the attribution of paternity. Science promises to reduce (or even eliminate) uncertainty; how should lawyers respond to such ambitious claims?’
That dangerous nonsense might well explain Reece’s complete cobblers about unimportant paedophile reoffending earlier in this piece. In another book Science in Court, she explores how ‘Science plays an ever-increasing part in the development of legislation and the adjudication of cases. Its limitations and its value are explored in these essays..’.
What does she want instead, tealeaves? Snake entrails? Here’s her objection to stricter V&B:
‘She explains that the Vetting and Barring Scheme and other legislative measures single out sex offenders for unfair special treatment and destroy the principle that a prisoner pays his debt by serving his sentence before re-entering society on equal terms.’
Insane extrapolation based on zero science: hardly any paedophiles pay their debt to re-enter society on equal terms: some 55% of them, on release, restart exactly where they left off five years earlier.
Does any of this matter? Of course it does. Take two contemporary cases at random, and you must surely see why I think so.
A Sheffield vicar was jailed for sex crimes against minors yesterday. With appalling predictability, Church leaders and social services were condemned in Court for a cover-up of the attacks – on a teenage girl in Sheffield 26 years ago – by John Yallop, now 65. He admitted to a social worker at the time that he was guilty, but rather than informing the police, social services met with church leaders – and between them they decided the married father-of-two should resign. Police were never told about the case, and it wasn’t until 2012 (when she saw a newspaper article wherein the defendant suggested he was about to foster) that the victim felt she had to make a formal complaint.
Jailing Yallop for three years, the Judge Simon Lawler QC told Yallop: "You mercilessly abused her for your own sexual gratification. Now, there would have been an immediate complaint to police and the church would have taken swift action. Then, it was swept under the carpet. The church were more concerned about what a formal complaint would do to its reputation. It was a cover-up."
I’m glad Judge Lawler has such faith in the ability of our justice system "now" to catch these profoundly sick people. I don’t share it. Even in the case upon which Lawler just adjudicated, there is not the slightest chance that the original clergy and social workers involved will be brought to book. There seems to be some kind of feeling in our deranged society that a ‘statute of limitations’ should apply to abuse against children. Well, there isn’t one: the ‘authorities’ were accessories to a heinous crime, and should be brought to book. The following is typical of emails I get from victims every week: it demonstrates yet again that these lost souls enjoy no statute of limitations on their nightmare memories:
‘I have been reading your blogs and find them to be of some interest. As regards the above subject, I have to tell you that I am one of the victims that was abused by this monster Peter Righton his partner Richard Alston, and Charles Napier, for 5 years from 1977- 1982.
I have had some contact with a reporter who has run a story, as part of the investigation, and limited contact with Tom Watson MP, who reopened the case. Also, I have had one brief e-mail from the Police investigating these cases, however they have failed to follow up or even interview me regarding the incidents. I have emailed the reporter, who assured me that ‘It was the right thing to do.’ However I still haven’t heard back from them. Nor have I heard back from Tom Watson, who promised to send me his e-mail address and details so I can contact him personally.
As a victim, I once again feel let down, by the system, and by people, with ‘good intention.’ I am at my wits end, as I had buried this for 31 years, and it has now affected me badly, with the disgusting memories who have come back to haunt me.’
I never cease to be amazed by the consistency of these cases: social workers who either do nothing or cover things up, clerics trying to avoid scandal, police doing nothing or simply not being told, cases reopened that go quiet….and prosecutions that are promised yet vapourise like mirages in the desert heat. No matter how much heat is applied, the modus operandi are always the same.
But it doesn’t stop there….and this is the truly pernicious part: there are still thousands of apologists for paedophilia like Helen Reece willfully ignoring the mountains of evidence about the irredeemable nature of almost all child-sex offenders, while pressing the case for minimising their crimes. With every year that passes, it gets harder and harder to view some of these people as merely idiots.
I am not just baffled by the inability of the paedophilephiles to stop presenting the ‘case’ for kid-f**king: I am dismayed by it. The dismay is the exact same emotion I feel about to defenders of other indefensibles like lying tabloid culture-f**kers, greedy banking customer-f**kers, and imperialist Cyprus-f**kers. It leads me to ask, "Why are they doing it?"
The answer is rarely as simple as it should be, and this makes me increasingly suspicious about the true nature of the British Establishment. That an abnormally high percentage of its members are depraved can no longer be the subject of any doubt; but the connection between feminist anti-empiricism and paedophilia on the Left – or between sociopathically unethical economics and sexual sadism against children on the Right – is truly disturbing.
Regrettably, I keep returning to my enduring theory about this: that control is at the core of it. Harriet Harman’s control freakery is something that I have followed for years, as indeed I have that of Boris Johnson. That’s why four years ago, I identified both of them as the two most dangerous politicians in Britain. One worships the State, the other the Market: both are false Gods, but the insistence of their followers that they represent the pinnacle of deserving worship is shocking and ridiculous at one and the same time.
However, the extraordinary part is the commonality they share in relation to The Big Lie. Josef Goebbels was the first twisted genius to summarise the nature of the planet-sized con, and his frighteningly accurate belief in how to do it lives on nearly seventy years after his tragically late death. The Mighty Mendacity that joins the Dystopian Left and the Cruel Right is how they view paedophilia. One lies about the reality of its mortal damage to young lives, while the other denies its organised self-protection: but there is no real difference between these apparently opposed ideologies. What they desire to the point of nihilist destruction is the employment of false analysis to further their dictatorial aspirations.
Consider the mad idea that economic stimulation using monies that deepen unrepayable debt can lift one out of a trap into which one fell due to poor budgetary control; or the opposite yet equally potty contention that scorched-earth austerity can restore economic growth; or again, the alchemic assertion that 3% of citizens must be fabulously wealthy in order to trickle down wealth to the remaining 97%; or barmier still, the proposition that forced equality can somehow remain meritocratically sound.
These and many, many other anti-scientific fantasies are put forward by mass media, politicians, economists, social workers, spin doctors and psychiatrists on a daily basis. Without that stream of delusional illusion setting a psychopathic ‘example’, the risible denial and approval of perverse and ruinous sexual practice could not possibly be either believed or tolerated.
I cannot say for certain why or how we have reached this sorry state of poor discernment – but reach it we undoubtedly have. I do not know why David Cameron says we should report sexual criminality to the police when he knows perfectly well that this advice is poor. I have little notion of why Harriet Harman remains tight-lipped about her youthful approval of paedophilia when she is totally aware of the mental damage it causes. I can’t hazard any kind of focused guess as to the motives of Human Rights lawyers in promoting blatant statistical lies about the dangers of sick men who think their preference for child-sex is normal, whereas the procreational sexual desire of the rest of us is a minor variation on their theme.
All I can record is that the gender-obsessed tendency thinks unpunished child-destruction is just fine, and the greed-obsessed tendency believes organised paedophile rings are a myth.
There is a darkness to it all that reminds me of gulags and death camps and libor rates and derivative salamis and Nazi euthanasia and Soviet mental institutions and George Orwell and Aldous Huxley and Pol Pot and Newscorp and the Stasi and Oligarchic money. All of it goes hand in hand with a quasi-religious belief in something that was once a good idea, but is now an evil aspiration. We have reached a stage where books will be burned, past news erased, judicial decisions doctored, and corruption idealised.
Sexual vultures are real, not imaginary creatures invented by neurotic trouble-makers. Sexual vultures are horribly carnivorous, not unfairly maligned vegetarians. Decent citizens want these predators put on trial, not rendered innocent or ignored.
But obscene Establishment hypocrisy prefers sanitised secrecy. This is – surely – the ultimate reason why we should destroy that ruling class forever.

Amanda Todd's family blasts new Facebook policy
By TYLER ORTON, QMI Agency
A still from Amanda Todd's YouTube video telling the story of years of bullying after having a nude photo sent to classmates. (WENN.COM)
VANCOUVER - A new Facebook policy does more to protect advertisers from offensive material than protect children like Amanda Todd from online predators, according to a consumer group speaking on behalf of the suicide victim’s family.
On Monday, the social media giant implemented a new review process that restricts ads from appearing on pages containing "any violent, graphic or sexual content."
Red Hood Project co-founder Sandy Garossino, whose group includes the family of Todd, a Port Coquitlam, B.C., teen who took her own life last October following years of online torment, said the new policy does nothing to protect children from exploitation.

Letters suggest province ‘contradicting themselves’
Government lawyer’s letter at odds with N.S. fight against class-action effor t of alleged abuse victims
EVA HOARE STAFF REPORTER

Provincial government lawyers could ultimately put a major dent in their own case against a proposed class action involving former residents of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children, a legal expert says.
The p otential ammunition is contained in a 2011 letter written by the same government lawyer who is arguing the province’s current case against the residents’ claims.
The government maintains it has never been responsible for alleged sexual and physical assaults on the children at the orphanage and it places any blame on now-dissolved children’s aid societies in Nova S cotia . And it contends it was not liable for the decisions o f those societies.
But government lawyer Peter McVey wrote a letter in June 2011 that appears to contradict the province’s position.
"I am a child protection lawyer advising and acting for the minister of community services," McVey wrote to Halifax lawyer Ray Wagner, whose firm, Wagners, represents the orphanage’s former residents.

Home residents’ case returns to court next week
FROM PAGE A1: HOME
"Child protection agencies are an administrative agency of government, operating solely under the statutory mandate provided for in the Children and Family Services Act ."
Wagners will try next week to have McVey’s letter and another admitted into evidence as par t of an attempt to have the court certify the former residents’ class action against the government.
Wayne MacKay, a law professor at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law, said if the letters are allowed into the court record, they could have a legal impact.
"At a minimum, what I think these would do, would at least raise some reasonable arguments that the position Mr. Wagner takes on behalf of his clients is a legitimate one," MacKay said in an interview Wednesday after reading Wagner’s submissions.
"I think it is a blow, because on a class action certification, (the judge) doesn’t have to decide who is right on this. McVey himself, in one letter, (is) suggesting . . . the agencies do seem to be controlled by the government."
To the public, at the least, Mac-Kay said, the letters would place the government "in the position where they seem to be talking out of both sides of their mouth."
"It certainly leaves the impression that they’re contradicting themselves."
McVey, one of two government lawyers fighting the proposed class action in Nova Scotia Supreme Court, wrote the two-yearold letter in response to Wagner’s concerns about a former staffer of the home who was discovered to be driving a day-care bus in East Preston in 2011.
The staffer has b een implicated in numerous lawsuits as an alleged abuser at the orphanage.
Wagner had written to a Community S ervices Depar tment social worker in the spring of 2011 to say he was worried about the man’s proximity to young children. He asked the department to look into the situation.
McVey replied on June 30, 2011, that any concerns should go through him and not the social worker. He also said that if Wagner was fearful about the wellbeing of any children, he should go to the RCMP.
In a brief submitted to the cour t late last Friday, Wagner said McVey’s letter contradicts the province’s arguments.
Lawyers for the former residents also ask that a separate letter, from a lawyer then acting for the home, also be considered.
It states that the provincial Community S ervices Depar tment would be responsible for establishing "appropriate standards" at the orphanage.
(The home its elf recently settled a class action with its former residents.) "The plaintiffs believe it to be in the interests of justice that two such letters be introduced into evidence for the court’s consideration into whether there is ‘some basis in fact’ upon which former residents of the NSHCC (home), placed there by children’s aid societies, can pursue their common issues against the province," Wagner’s motion states.
In an interview Wednesday, Wagner said "the former residents welcome any clarification on why the government changes its position on children’s aid societies between 2011 and 2013. In our view, the documents speak for themselves."
MacKay said both letters appear to support the contention that the government was in charge of the orphanage.
The province cannot likely raise an argument against admissibility based on the element of surprise as the letters have been in its possession since 2011, he said.
"They had those documents, (they) were available to them . . . ever since they were written," the law professor said. "They should b e admitted."
He said the letters appear to have "clear relevance and importance to the plaintiff."
The government lawyers could argue that the views expressed in McVey’s letter were purely his own, but McVey states in the letter that he is "acting for the minister of community services."
Wagners lawyers have asked that the admissibility question be decided next Tuesday.
Justice Department officials said Tuesday they had no comment, adding that the issue would be addressed in court.
The entire case goes back to court next Monday before Justice Arthur LeBlanc and is expected to last the week.

Church settles with Quebec sex-abuse victims
MONTREAL -- A judge has signed off on a landmark agreement to compensate victims of sex abuse that occurred for decades within a Roman Catholic organization in Quebec.
While walking away from news crews outside the courtroom, one victim said the grieving could finally begin.
The $18-million mediated settlement, the largest in Quebec and one lawyers have said could even be the largest ever in Canada, was officially enacted as Quebec Superior Court Justice Claude Auclair signed the agreement Wednesday.
Victim Sebastien Richard (right), vice-president of the victims' committee and Robert Cornellier, president, react to a settlement reached between a major Roman Catholic organization and sexual abuse victims Thursday, October 6, 2011 in Montreal. The Congregation of Holy Cross has committed to issuing an apology and to financial compensation of up to $18-million for sexual abuse committed at three different institutions, between 1950 and 2001.
(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Paul Chiasson)
But there were no cheers as Auclair signed the document -- only silence as a five-year legal odyssey came to a close.
Victims will be paid by July 24 and will be awarded an indemnity ranging from $10,000 and $250,000, depending on the type of abuse they endured at three Quebec institutions. The agreement stems from an out-of-court mediated settlement, spurred by the threat of a class-action lawsuit.
Victims are still angry that many of the 223 claimants were forced to make their case before adjudicators and describe the abuse they faced.
The class-action lawsuit was formally launched in 2008 and a settlement was reached in October 2011.
The rest of the legal wrangling took nearly 18 months and lawyers lamented the slow process of finalizing the deal. One lawyer said more than half the claims -- 126 out of 206 -- went before an adjudicator.
"The process should have taken three months and it took 15," said Alain Arsenault, one of the lawyers that represented the victims. He accused lawyers for the congregation of using stalling tactics and citing prior criminal history.
"They contested with no proof but they contested all the same," Arsenault fumed. "They deposited documents that had nothing to do with the abuse ... but they never brought any proof to deny the claims except in one case."
The Congregation of Holy Cross issued a release expressing condolences for decades of abuse at three Quebec institutions that are now defunct -- Montreal's College Notre-Dame between 1950 and 2001; College Saint-Cesaire, located south of Montreal, between 1950 and 1991; and Ecole Notre Dame in the Lower St. Lawrence region, between 1959 and 1964.
Jean-Pierre Aumont, the Canadian provincial superior of the congregation, apologized again on Wednesday "for the suffering caused by the teachers and staff who held a position of trust and authority with students, and my deepest sympathy to the victims of such abuse."
"Such actions should never have happened," he said in a statement.
Victims hope the agreement will lead to other ones in Quebec and elsewhere for sex-abuse victims from other congregations. They hope other diocese and religious orders might also settle and avoid lengthy legal battles in the future.
Sebastien Richard, a spokesman for the victims, said they had a message for other groups: "Keep fighting."
In the end 206 victims, and in some cases their parents, will wind up sharing nearly $13 million.
The other $5 million will go to lawyers' fees, adjudicators' honorariums, and other expenses.
Seventeen people's claims have not been accepted.
One of the victims' lawyers, Gilles Gareau, accused the religious order's lawyers of abusing the adjudicator process.
It meant having to recount in detail all of the crimes committed against them, said Gareau. He cited the case of one man, now 72, who had to describe horrific acts in front of six people.
"It's not an easy thing -- I had to prepare him judicially and psychologically and I had to pick up the pieces after the hearing," Gareau said.
"I had to escort one of them because I was afraid he was going to kill himself on the way out."
Arsenault said he was satisfied but concerned about the impact on the victims. The settlement was designed to avoid having them relive their experiences.
"(There were) those who had to go before an adjudicator ... and explain in detail the nature of the abuse to strangers when there was no one to contradict their claims," said Arsenault.
He estimated that 97 per cent of the cases that went before an adjudicator were accepted.
Holy Cross' Aumont had already apologized once in a video posted in 2011. On Wednesday, a statement sent via a public-relations firm expressed hope for a brighter future for victims.
"The damage has been done, and we were committed to act diligently to repair it," Aumont said. "We hope that the (agreement) helps the victims make a fresh start, that they heal as best they can from the injuries they suffered and can work wholeheartedly toward their future."
A lawyer for the congregation said the adjudication step was designed to give equal treatment to all victims in a reasonable time frame.
"The indemnification process is finalized and at this stage the Holy Cross congregation hopes that the victims will be able to go on with their lives," said lawyer Eric Simard.
Richard said the money may not help some victims, who have been overwhelmed by the psychological scars.
Others have committed suicide. Many never came forward.
"It's clear the 206 people we're talking about is a sad minority of the total number of victims," Richard said. "There were 40 aggressors identified by the victims and five of them are still alive today."

COMMENT:
This is the saddest story I have every heard. Money will never erase what these poor kids went through, but at least the horrible people that did it to them are exposed. I hope they take this money and have a wonderful time with every penny.. they deserve it! And I hope the pigs that abused them get, or have gotten their due karma.

Britain will be forcing convicted child molesters to wear GPS-tracking devices, following a recent incident where a convicted pedophile was caught in a child sex ring. The program, which should begin in 2013, will be extended to others considered a threat after their release from jail. The information will be monitored by police and will not be given out to the public. Patrick Jones has the story.

AUSTRALIA: Apprehended Sex Tourists Just ‘Tip of the Iceberg’
by Stephen de Tarczynski Inter Press Service
The high-profile case of an accused Australian paedophile in India and the recent arrest of an Australian man on child sex charges in Thailand represent just the 'tip of the iceberg' when it comes to Australians involved in child sex tourism in the Asia-Pacific, children’s rights advocates here say.
'The ones that we hear about are the unlucky ones, the ones that get caught,' says Bernadette McMenamin, chief executive officer of the child protection agency Child Wise, the Australian chapter of End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography, and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT) International.
One of those 'unlucky' people is Paul Henry Dean, who fled Australia in 1976 on a false passport after allegedly embezzling funds from the travel company where he worked. He is accused of sexually abusing young men and boys in India, where he has lived and worked with charities for three decades, posing variously as a priest and a doctor.
Although not a tourist, Dean falls under most definitions of a child sex tourist, which generally refers to people who sexually abuse children while in a foreign country. The term ‘child sex tourism’ not only includes tourists but businessmen, expatriates and other travellers as well.
Dean was initially charged in 2001 and faced similar charges in 2008. Although nine years have passed since he was first arrested, his trial has still yet to be concluded. Dean remains free on bail and on Jul. 9, the trial was again delayed. Up to now, none of his alleged victims have testified against Dean in court.
In what is a rare move for Child Wise, McMenamin is calling for Dean to be extradited from India because 'in this case we feel that he would be better prosecuted in Australia.'
According to McMenamin, Australians and others in Dean’s situation can use money to avoid facing justice. 'They just pay the kids. They pay off the families, they pay off the police,' she says.
Another Australian facing child sex charges in Asia is 90-year-old Karl Joseph Kraus. Arrested on Jun. 29, German-born Kraus is alleged to have raped four sisters - believed to have been aged between five and 13 when the abuse began - at his home near the city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
Giorgio Berardi, the programme officer for combating child sex tourism with ECPAT International in Bangkok, told IPS that Thailand has been unable to shake 'the unenviable label of a haven for child sex.'
He argues that although Thailand has the legislation to crack down on child sex tourists, these laws not being enforced. But this is just one factor in understanding and tackling what is 'an extremely complex phenomenon,' says Berardi.
The ECPAT International officer singles out Cambodia from the likes of Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, as a country that has taken action to curb the problem. 'Over the last few years, arrests and trials in the Khmer kingdom have exceeded those in any of the other countries,' says Berardi.
The cases of Dean and Kraus are far from isolated incidents of Australians accused of sexual crimes against children in Asia.
A report titled ‘International Sex Tourism’ released in 2007 by the Protection Project, a human rights research institute at the Johns Hopkins University in the United States, documented Australians who had been arrested on child sex charges in Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Australian child sex tourists figured prominently in the cases outlined in the report, as did nationals of the United States, Germany and Britain.
Largely due to cases of sexual abuse only coming to public attention when a complaint has been made by a victim or an alleged perpetrator has been arrested, data regarding the extent of child sex tourism remains scarce. However, McMenamin describes the scope of the problem as 'huge.'
Fuelled by demand and often facilitated by factors such as organised crime, corruption, underdevelopment and poverty, child sex tourism is clearly not going away any time soon. Some two million children worldwide estimated to fall victim to paedophiles yearly, according to advocates’ estimates.
In an effort to reduce the number of Australians involved in child sex tourism, the federal parliament here amended a child sex offences law in April. The new legislation increases the penalties for crimes related to child sex tourism to a maximum of 25 years in jail for child sex offences committed overseas.
Additionally, the amendments introduce new offences related to preparing to sexually exploit children outside Australia, with those convicted facing up to 10 years in jail. New penalties relating to child pornography also came into force, with up to 25 years in prison for those engaging in such activity.
'The sexual abuse of children is abhorrent and we’re doing all we can to stop it from happening and punish those who commit these sickening offences,' said Home Affairs Minister Brendan O’Connor on Jun. 29.
The minister was speaking at the launch of a campaign to make Australian travellers aware that the new laws are in place. Signs at Australian international airports, advertisements in newspapers, information brochures and even an online word search have been employed by authorities to warn the public.
McMenamin welcomes the changes to the child sex offences legislation and the advertising campaign, both of which Child Wise lobbied for. 'These laws have been amended because of reality, because of people who have escaped justice,' she says.

'Two Little Girls' was shown as part of the exhibition 'not Natasha' by Dana Popa at Impressions Gallery, Bradford, in partnership with Autograph ABP. This hard-hitting and harrowing exhibition, documented the experiences of sex-trafficked women from Moldova through photography and collected stories.
Read more about the exhibition at http://bit.ly/9j3RlH
The short animated film 'Two Little Girls' follows the stories of two young women who are cruelly deceived by loved ones. Their stories reflect the two most common ways women and girls are lured from their homes and are trafficked into prostitution by people they know and trust.
The film was made in consultation with five Albanian women who were trafficked into the UK and had agreed to share their experiences with the film makers to ensure the accuracy of their stories. This a powerful cautionary tale which has already become a talking point amongst victims of the sex-trafficking trade. While many films on the subject are often distressing and difficult to watch, this film draws in the audience with its animated fairy tale stlye and music before hitting home with its serious message.

1.Approximately 75-80% of human trafficking is for sex.a
2.Researchers note that sex trafficking plays a major role in the spread of HIV.b
3.There are more human slaves in the world today than ever before in history.l
4.There are an estimated 27 million adults and 13 million children around the world who are victims of human trafficking.l
5.Human trafficking not only involves sex and labor, but people are also trafficked for organ harvesting.k
6.Human traffickers often use a Sudanese phrase "use a slave to catch slaves," meaning traffickers send "broken-in girls" to recruit younger girls into the sex trade. Sex traffickers often train girls themselves, raping them and teaching them sex acts.l
7.Eighty percent of North Koreans who escape into China are women. Nine out of 10 of those women become victims of human trafficking, often for sex. If the women complain, they are deported back to North Korea, where they are thrown into gulags or are executed.h
woman human trafficking Approximately 30,000 victims of sex trafficking die each year 8.An estimated 30,000 victims of sex trafficking die each year from abuse, disease, torture, and neglect. Eighty percent of those sold into sexual slavery are under 24, and some are as young as six years old.j
9.Ludwig "Tarzan" Fainberg, a convicted trafficker, said, "You can buy a woman for $10,000 and make your money back in a week if she is pretty and young. Then everything else is profit."l
10.A human trafficker can earn 20 times what he or she paid for a girl. Provided the girl was not physically brutalized to the point of ruining her beauty, the pimp could sell her again for a greater price because he had trained her and broken her spirit, which saves future buyers the hassle. A 2003 study in the Netherlands found that, on average, a single sex slave earned her pimp at least $250,000 a year.l
11.Although human trafficking is often a hidden crime and accurate statistics are difficult to obtain, researchers estimate that more than 80% of trafficking victims are female. Over 50% of human trafficking victims are children.l
12.The end of the Cold War has resulted in the growth of regional conflicts and the decline of borders. Many rebel groups turn to human trafficking to fund military actions and garner soldiers.k
13.According to a 2009 Washington Times article, the Taliban buys children as young as seven years old to act as suicide bombers. The price for child suicide bombers is between $7,000-$14,000.n
14.UNICEF estimates that 300,000 children younger than 18 are currently trafficked to serve in armed conflicts worldwide.n
baby sold Pregnant women are increasingly being trafficked for their newborns 15.Human traffickers are increasingly trafficking pregnant women for their newborns. Babies are sold on the black market, where the profit is divided between the traffickers, doctors, lawyers, border officials, and others. The mother is usually paid less than what is promised her, citing the cost of travel and creating false documents. A mother might receive as little as a few hundred dollars for her baby.k
16.More than 30% of all trafficking cases in 2007-2008 involved children being sold into the sex industry.o
17.The Western presence in Kosovo, such as NATO troops and civilians, have fueled the rapid growth of sex trafficking and forced prostitution. Amnesty International has reported that NATO soldiers, UN police, and Western aid workers "operated with near impunity in exploiting the victims of the sex traffickers."g
18.Lady Gaga’s "Bad Romance" video is about human trafficking. In the video, Gaga is trafficked by a Russian bathhouse into sex slavery.f
19.Human trafficking is the only area of transnational crime in which women are significantly represented—as victims, as perpetrators, and as activists fighting this crime.a
20.Global warming and severe natural disasters have left millions homeless and impoverished, which has created desperate people easily exploited by human traffickers.k
21.Over 71% of trafficked children show suicidal tendencies.l
22.After sex, the most common form of human trafficking is forced labor. Researchers argue that as the economic crisis deepens, the number of people trafficked for forced labor will increase.k

24.According to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), over the past 30 years, over 30 million children have been sexually exploited through human trafficking.k
25.Several countries rank high as source countries for human trafficking, including Belarus, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Albania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Romania, China, Thailand, and Nigeria.l
26.Belgium, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Thailand, Turkey, and the U.S. are ranked very high as destination countries of trafficked victims.l
27.Women are trafficked to the U.S. largely to work in the sex industry (including strip clubs, peep and touch shows, massage parlors that offer sexual services, and prostitution). They are also trafficked to work in sweatshops, domestic servitude, and agricultural work.l
rape Sex traffickers often use brutal violence to "condition" their victims 28.Sex traffickers use a variety of ways to "condition" their victims, including subjecting them to starvation, rape, gang rape, physical abuse, beating, confinement, threats of violence toward the victim and victim’s family, forced drug use, and shame.l
29.Family members will often sell children and other family members into slavery; the younger the victim, the more money the trafficker receives. For example, a 10-year-old named Gita was sold into a brothel by her aunt. The now 22-year-old recalls that when she refused to work, the older girls held her down and stuck a piece of cloth in her mouth so no one would hear her scream as she was raped by a customer. She would later contract HIV.l
30.Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises because it holds relatively low risk with high profit potential. Criminal organizations are increasingly attracted to human trafficking because, unlike drugs, humans can be sold repeatedly.k
31.Human trafficking is estimated to surpass the drug trade in less than five years. Journalist Victor Malarek reports that it is primarily men who are driving human trafficking, specifically trafficking for sex.i
32.Victims of human trafficking suffer devastating physical and psychological harm. However, due to language barriers, lack of knowledge about available services, and the frequency with which traffickers move victims, human trafficking victims and their perpetrators are difficult to catch.i
33.In approximately 54% of human trafficking cases, the recruiter is a stranger, and in 46% of the cases, the recruiters know the victim. Fifty-two percent of human trafficking recruiters are men, 42% are women, and 6% are both men and women.d
34.Human trafficking around the globe is estimated to generate a profit of anywhere from $9 billion to $31.6 billion. Half of these profits are made in industrialized countries.d

37.Human trafficking is a global phenomenon that is fueled by poverty and gender discrimination.k
38.Human traffickers often work with corrupt government officials to obtain travel documents and seize passports.i
39.Women and girls from racial minorities in the U.S. are disproportionately recruited by sex traffickers in the U.S.l
40.The Sunday Telegraph in the U.K. reports that hundreds of children as young as six are brought to the U.K. as slaves each year.m
japan traffic Japan is a major hub of sex trafficking 41.Japan is considered the largest market for Asian women trafficked for sex.i
42.Airports are often used by human traffickers to hold "slave auctions," where women and children are sold into prostitution.m
43.Due to globalization, every continent of the world has been involved in human trafficking, including a country as small as Iceland.k
44.Many times, if a sex slave is arrested, she is imprisoned while her trafficker is able to buy his way out of trouble.l
45.Today, slaves are cheaper than they have ever been in history. The population explosion has created a great supply of workers, and globalization has created people who are vulnerable and easily enslaved.l
46.Human trafficking and smuggling are similar but not interchangeable. Smuggling is transportation based. Trafficking is exploitation based.l
47.Sex traffickers often recruit children because not only are children more unsuspecting and vulnerable than adults, but there is also a high market demand for young victims. Traffickers target victims on the telephone, on the Internet, through friends, at the mall, and in after-school programs.o
48.Human trafficking has been reported in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and in some U.S. territories.e
49.The FBI estimates that over 100,000 children and young women are trafficked in America today. They range in age from nine to 19, with the average being age 11. Many victims are not just runaways or abandoned, but are from "good" families who are coerced by clever traffickers.o
50.Brazil and Thailand are generally considered to have the worst child sex trafficking records.k
51.The AIDS epidemic in Africa has left many children orphaned, making them especially vulnerable to human trafficking.l
52.Nearly 7,000 Nepali girls as young as nine years old are sold every year into India’s red-light district—or 200,000 in the last decade. Ten thousand children between the ages of six and 14 are in Sri Lanka brothels.j
53.Human trafficking victims face physical risks, such as drug and alcohol addiction, contracting STDs, sterility, miscarriages, forced abortions, vaginal and anal trauma, among others. Psychological effects include developing clinical depression, personality and dissociative disorders, suicidal tendencies, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.l
54.The largest human trafficking case in recent U.S. history occurred in Hawaii in 2010. Global Horizons Manpower, Inc., a labor-recruiting company, bought 400 immigrants in 2004 from Thailand to work on farms in Hawaii. They were lured with false promises of high-paying farm work, but instead their passports were taken away and they were held in forced servitude until they were rescued in 2010.c
55.According to the U.S. State Department, human trafficking is one of the greatest human rights challenges of this century, both in the United States and around the world.l

HUMAN TRAFFICKING
What the UN Doesn't Want You to Know-
In 1999, Kathryn Bolkovac went to Bosnia as part of a UN mission. She discovered terrible wrongdoing - and refused to stay silent about it. She tells Nisha Lilia Diu her incredible story, now the subject of a film starring Rachel Weisz.

4:42PM GMT 06 Feb 2012
'Do you want coffee? Baileys? Coffee and Baileys?’ Kathryn Bolkovac pours a dash of liqueur into a black onyx mug. 'That’s what I’m having.’
She’s just home from work on this icy Friday evening in a small city near Amsterdam.
She has lived in Holland, with her Dutch husband, ever since her life was transformed by events so extraordinary they have been made into a film, The Whistleblower, starring Rachel Weisz.
Before going on a UN peacekeeping mission to Bosnia 13 years ago , Bolkovac, 51, was a police officer in Nebraska. She specialised in sex crimes, was nicknamed Xena: Warrior Princess, and had a 95 per cent conviction rate.
'It was actually higher than that,’ she corrects me, settling on an L-shaped chocolate suede sofa. I tell her that in Britain the rape conviction rate is more like 6 per cent. She laughs, amazed.
'You have to get confessions. That’s the trick – knowing how to interview people.’
But with 10 years on the street and two failed marriages behind her, it was time for a change.
She signed up with DynCorp, the private contractor providing American personnel for the UN mission in Bosnia. The war was only recently ended and the country’s legal infrastructure was in disarray.
Bolkovac thought of 'all the good, meaningful work I was going to do’, training Bosnian police officers and re-establishing law and order.
The first of several nasty shocks came before she’d even left: among the recruits at DynCorp’s training week in Texas was a man from Mississippi. He’d been to Bosnia before and had had such a good time he was going again.
He told them all how scenic it was, adding, 'and I know where you can get really nice 12- to 15-year-olds’. Bolkovac was baffled, believing she’d misheard.
In Bosnia, where there were so many dead the Olympic football stadium had been turned into a cemetery, she threw herself into her work.
Soon Madeleine Rees, the head of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, had recruited her to run a pilot project on violence against women.
While there, working in a police station with a hole in the floor for a lavatory, Bolkovac secured Bosnia’s first conviction for domestic violence.
Then one day the body of a skimpily dressed Ukrainian girl came floating down the River Bosna. Soon after, a Moldovan girl was found wandering the river banks.
Bolkovac attempted to interview her but only understood one word, 'Florida’, the name of a nightclub where she’d often see UN vehicles parked.
When she arrived the club was deserted. She found stacks of American dollars and foreign passports in a safe and, behind a locked door, seven girls. 'Sheer terror,’ says Bolkovac of the looks on the girls’ faces. 'It was exactly as you see in the film: 'they’re huddled, they’re holding each other, they’re on these bare, stained mattresses.’ They were too afraid to talk. One of them pointed to the river outside. 'We don’t want to end up floating.’
Dozens of girls began turning up at Bolkovac’s station with 'eerily similar’ stories:
They’d taken a job abroad as a waitress or cleaner or nanny - often at the insistence of their own families - but during the journey everything had gone wrong.
They were taken somewhere else altogether, forcibly stripped and sold to someone who humiliated, beat and raped them into dead-eyed submission. Now they were imprisoned in brothels in Bosnia.
'People ask me what’s true,’ says the film’s director, Larysa Kondracki. 'But it’s barely scratching the surface. We had to tone it down.’
The problem was so widespread, says Rees (now secretary general of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom), 'Kathy ended up having time to deal with nothing but trafficking.’
Girls who escaped were frequently found – sometimes grabbed outside safe houses – and brutally punished by their pimp, with the others made to watch. But that wasn’t the only reason they wouldn’t testify.
'They didn’t expect [the police] to help them,’ says Bolkovac.
She discovered numerous individuals in the Bosnian and UN police (which was made up of some 1,800 officers from 45 countries) who were not only using trafficked prostitutes but were on the traffickers’ pay-roll.
They were paid to give warnings on raids, return girls who escaped or, when rescued girls were repatriated ('dumped somewhere on the border’, according to Bolkovac), let the traffickers know where they could collect them so they could be 'recycled back into the system.
'Free access to the girls was an added perk.’
Bolkovac is fresh-faced and young-looking, with a thick ponytail of light-blonde hair, but she seems tired.
'I found it intolerable,’ she says. The more she investigated, the more her UN colleagues turned against her.
'She’d been very popular and one of the lads,’ says Rees. 'And you could see she was getting increasingly isolated in the cafeteria; people weren’t sitting with her.’
Bolkovac’s files went missing, her superiors pulled her cases, people warned her to back off.
Eventually, she wrote an email detailing everything she’d learnt and sent it to 50 senior mission personnel, with the subject 'Do not read this if you have a weak stomach or a guilty conscience’.
Four days later she was demoted, and a few months after that DynCorp fired her for falsifying her timesheets.
But Bolkovac had kept copies of all her files; her mantra, she says, has always been 'document, document, document’. She successfully sued DynCorp for unfair dismissal for making a protected disclosure – legal-speak for whistleblowing.
The tribunal stated, 'It is hard to imagine a case in which a firm has behaved in a more callous manner.’
Within hours of the ruling DynCorp settled a second whistleblowing case against it, offering an undisclosed sum to an aircraft mechanic from Texas called Ben Johnston, who had evidence of UN personnel buying and selling girls elsewhere in Bosnia.
Johnston signed a gagging order. 'It was very disappointing,’ says Bolkovac with a sigh.
Most disappointing of all was what happened next: several men were sent home, but none was punished further. No future employer will ever know what these men were guilty of.
I asked DynCorp if its guidelines had become more stringent since 2001 and was sent its code of ethics.
It states that 'engaging in or supporting any trafficking in persons […] is prohibited. Any person who violates this standard or fails to report violations of this standard shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.’
So nothing has changed.
DynCorp continues to win multimillion-dollar military contracts with the American government in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti among other places.
This is despite paying a $155,000 settlement to a contractor in Iraq in January 2012 and, in June 2011, $7.7 million to the US State Department itself over charges of filing false paperwork.
Unlike those who had been quietly sent home, Bolkovac’s professional record was blighted by her dismissal and she’s been unable to find work in international law enforcement since.
She currently works at an auctioneers which deals in industrial and agricultural equipment, as well as consulting and speaking at universities and NGOs in her own time.
The UN mission in Bosnia finished in January 2003 but the abuses did not end there.
In fact, Jacques Paul Klein, the head of the UN mission in Bosnia, went on to lead the UN mission in Liberia, where he presided over similar scandals.
He has now 'dropped off the face of the earth’, says Bolkovac.
He was retired from the UN after allegedly having an affair with a woman who was taking his UN secrets to the Liberian dictator, Charles Taylor. 'You couldn’t make it up, could you?’ says Rees.
Recent years have seen allegations of sexual exploitation by UN peacekeepers in the Ivory Coast, the Congo, Columbia… The list goes on.
But UN personnel have hitherto been protected by diplomatic immunity – meaning they can’t be prosecuted in their mission country – and political expediency. Once they're home governments often have little desire to highlight their troops' bad behaviour.
As a result of Bolkovac’s revelations, however, the UN set up a conduct and discipline unit in 2007.
Susana Malcorra, who heads it up, tells me the UN can waive immunity if needs be: 'It does not cover personal misconduct.’
More usually, the UN kicks people off its missions and hands the investigation and punishment over to the member state.
'We go back to member states quarterly to remind them of cases they still have open,’ says Malcorra. 'We will not give up on following up on every single case that is pending in our file.’
Have there been prosecutions? 'In the most horrible cases I have seen jail for significant periods.’
Nevertheless, Bolkovac believes trafficking is still not taken seriously. '
You should see the amount of money that’s put into training for anti-terrorism and gun-smuggling,’ she says. 'But when it comes to human trafficking and violence against women you don’t see the same resources being generated.’
Sex trafficking is not, unfortunately, confined to areas with a military presence.
The New York-based Somaly Mam Foundation, set up by a Cambodian woman who was trafficked as a child, estimates there are 2.7 million people enslaved globally, 85 per cent of whom are women and girls in forced prostitution.
The most recent figure for England and Wales is 12,000, which Abigail Stepnitz of the British anti-trafficking organisation Poppy Project, calls 'a tip-of-the-iceberg number’.
'For me the idea is to go after the demand end, to stop focussing on the victims,’ says Bolkovac. 'We have to focus on prosecution of the perpetrators.’
This is starting to happen.
Joseph Yannai, an author based in New York State, was convicted last June of trafficking girls from Europe, tricking them with adverts seeking editorial assistance. He’s facing a sentence of up to 80 years.
Also last year, a Romanian father and son operating a huge forced prostitution ring in Britain were given 21 years.
And, as Ariel Siegel at the Somaly Mam Foundation says, 'Men have to realise that the women they have encounters with might not be willing, despite appearances.’ In Britain it is illegal to pay for sex with someone who is being coerced.
The Whistleblower was recently screened at UN headquarters in New York (though not before an internal memo was leaked showing that some officials wanted to ignore its release).
Bolkovac has since been invited by the UN to hold a signing of her book, a riveting, fast-paced account of her time in Bosnia, also called The Whistleblower. 'I’ve followed up twice to set a date,’ she says. 'No response whatsoever.’
No one within the organisation, or at DynCorp, has yet apologised to Bolkovac for the treatment she received, much less praised her for going after wrongdoing and attempting to raise the standard.
Not yet.

FROM ALJAZEERA- UNITED KINGDOM
Tackling modern day slavery
Britain gets serious in addressing the very lucrative business of human trafficking.
Last modified: 14 May 2013 14:39
Laurence Lee
Walk down the streets of Soho in central London and sex is right in your face - strip clubs, porn shops, open doors with handwritten signs saying 'model upstairs'.
We did a bit of secret filming a few days ago, went into a few of the places where the prostitutes hang out. It was three in the afternoon and they were full of men of all ages.
"Hello darling," said the brothel madam. "Come and see the lady for yourself".
The 'lady' came into the bedroom in her underwear, no more than 20 years old.
Her manner was brisk, her accent and appearance somewhere from central or southern Europe. 'Twenty pounds for sex' she said.
We looked at her open mouthed in amazement. Twenty pounds is thirty dollars.
That's the price of a couple of pizzas in London. The police told us later that the women are made to pay rent to their handlers before they make any money of their own.
The calculation is that she would have to have sex with 15 men every week to break even.
Campaigners say that prostitution at that price almost certainly means the woman has been trafficked - you cannot possibly live on an income that low even if you were doing it voluntarily.
Modern-day slavery
Britain has been accused - quite recently - of not taking trafficking seriously.
After all, say the campaigners, it is basically slavery in a modern form, the second biggest organised crime in the world behind drugs and Britain's a favoured target for traffickers.
You would expect Europeans to be victims in a borderless continent, but the two biggest groups are from Nigeria and Vietnam.
Forced labour of Asian men is a huge problem too in underground drugs factories.
But it's becoming clear that gradually that England is starting to take a leading role in getting on top of trafficking.
A police raid, early in the morning, right next to Chelsea's football ground in west London, and out came two Russian women in handcuffs, allegedly part of a bigger and very organised gang bringing women into the UK.
Twenty or thirty officers at various locations doing simultaneous and well organised raids. How many do they do like this? 71 last year, apparently.
That's well over one every week in London alone.
The Home Office (border control, police, immigration) and the Foreign Office are also trying to be more organised up and there's more of a push in tandem with other European police forces to stop the problem at source rather than once it's established here.
It is really difficult though because London's got so many foreigners in it and the trafficking happens in plain sight and on such a massive scale.
Incredibly lucrative
You could see that from the place where we found the victims of the traffickers. A house converted into flats on a main thoroughfare, right opposite Earls Court exhibition centre in fashionable west London.
While waiting for the police to bring the women out we did some more maths. Seven women in five flats. Each flat would be rented by the traffickers for about 2500 dollars a month.
That means the traffickers must make $140,000 before they turn a profit on one property alone, and still it is incredibly lucrative.
The police said that Earls Court was full of similar places, so even if you accept they recognise the scale of this even they'd agree that they're far from on top of it. It's slavery, right under the noses of people driving to work and getting on the underground.
A quick plug for some excellent campaigners who have taken an animated film to no fewer than 13 Eastern European countries to warn young women that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. They're off to Ukraine and Russia next, and they'll have their work cut out too.
Have a look yourself - you'll never trust a man who claims he can get a woman work in Britain again: www.twolittlegirls.org

81-year-old arrested in Oxford paedophile ring investigation
An 81-year-old has been arrested by police investigating a paedophile ring which led to vulnerable schoolgirls being drugged, raped and sold into prostitution.
By Hayley Dixon and agencies11:31AM BST 06 Jun 2013
The pensioner was detained alongside two other men– aged 49 and 48 - after officers executed a warrant at guest house which was linked to the Oxford grooming gang.
The men were held by officers from Operation Bullfinch on suspicion of "being a landlord letting a premise for use as a brothel, causing or inciting child prostitution for gain and encouraging or assisting in an offence believing it will be committed, namely rape and causing child prostitution".
Seven members of a Asian paedophile ring are facing long jail terms after being found guilty at the Old Bailey last month of a catalogue of offences, including conspiracy to rape, child prostitution and trafficking over an eight-year period.
