Have you seen this scumbag? If so, Interpol would like a word with you...

Just think, we wouldnt know what he looked like if he just had the brains to put a black box over his face.

If he had brains, why would he be distributing pictures of the crime in the first place?

I don't recognize him, and I'm glad I don't. Cause I really don't feel like spending time in prison for beating a someone to death.

Edit - I read the article a little closer and realized they had said the pictures were taken in Cambodia and Vietnam, I was just wondering if anyone knew the laws from those countries to establish whether or not the actions in the photos are illegal where they were taken or if this a case of trying to enforce a law that doesn't exist in that country.

A reminder to please post the whole article from links and something a bit more to spur the discussion

I saw this in 60 Minutes Sunday. While I thought it great that they could reverse the swirly, I also had to think that this just tips off future assholes.

There are many countries in which it's illegal to cross country borders to have sex with a minor, regardless of the law of the target country. America is one... so if he's American, and left the country to play with little boys, it doesn't matter if it's illegal there or not.

Same thing goes with state-to-state. If you live in a state where the legal age is 18, you can't travel to a state where it's 16 just to have sex with a 16 year old.

not to mention the distribution of child porn, which obviously he enjoys taking pictures of the acts and then send them to all his sick friends.

A black box could be reversed in a similar manner, unless it were truly distributed as a true bit-mapped format. The color data would still be there.

I'm gonna have to call bullshit on this, unless your 'true bit-mapped format' is an escape clause allowing you to exclude all digital image produced by photoshop ever, which makes me question what we're left with.

All I did to this image was take the picture, resize it, black it out, and save as jpg (basically what our good pedo friend must have done, except with black instead of twirl). If you know something I don't, go right ahead.

Also, if anyone wants to play internet detective, here's a picture 'censored' the same way to play with...I'm going to try it myself to see how hard exactly it was to 'untwirl'...I'd love to see other people's attempts :thumbsup:

If you do find him, just do the right thing.

/Use a post '64 winnie if you have to.
//Personally, I wouldnt bury him tho, I'd hack off his genitals and shove them down his throat, then I'd call up a good taxidermist and have him stuffed, then nailed to a cross.
///Can you tell how much I love Fark?

I really wish TheJazz would stop saying that I'm this guy.

Simply using Photoshop wouldn't do it. They probably did it almost pixel by pixel.
Quite a while back someone claimed they had 'reversed' a heavily manipulated image I'd done of myself and I didn't believe it until he showed me.

It wouldn't be difficult to get the "twirl" algorithm from photoshop, then engineer it to run backwards... the difficult thing would be finding the exact diameter initially grabbed for the effect, and the level... at that point, it was likely a ton of trial and error.

It's reversible. And you can adjust it with a slider, with a real time preview. Just have to experiment with center points and diameters.

i agree.. with the authorities showing the whole world that they are able to reverse this sort of thing, it'd tip the bastards off. what they should have done is just shown the unscrambled pic and asked for help in locating him.

i think the authorities did a huge disservice to the worlds children

Yes but they got to show how clever they were.

Really, really stupid.

Reminds me of my favorite video game quote, "knowledge is power, guard it well."

how 'bout uncle phil saying that you're "That Girl?"

:)

That wooshing sound is the number of heads that joke just went over on tfp ;)

So...what does that say that I "got" it? ;)

Yay, for 60's era vintage Marlo. :D

Thanks, Uncle Phil.

:) I feel better already.

They've tried looking for him in secret for ages - they've been unable to make headway, and so have posted these images to the news services of the world.

The problem isn't the images, its how they 'unscrambled' them.

God, you call a guy a chickenfucker once, and you're branded for life.... :D

I didn't scramble my face!

I ADMIT MY CHICKEN LOVE!

or jimi hendrix singing, "'scuse me, while i kiss dis guy!"

He's in Thailand.

Aren't they ALL in Thailand?

That places attracts all sortsa pervs.

What do you expect when you have a place where you can buy pre-teen virgin hookers for a couple hundred bucks?

the latest article..

i still hold firm to the belief that showing the whole world that interpol unscrambled a swirled picture will lead to these bastards not posting their 'swirls' but just deleting their faces.

the fact that the gaffed again by saying he was in thailand i think was another huge mistake if they actually think he is there. gives him more reason go underground...

the sanity of the authorities sometimes...

'Swirled' pedophile suspected identified: Interpol
Tuesday Oct 16 05:43 AEST

Interpol has identified a man it says posted pictures of himself raping young boys in Vietnam and Cambodia, a week after issuing an unprecedented appeal for help.

The suspect was identified as an English teacher at a South Korean school who is now believed to be in Thailand, the International Criminal Police Organization said in a statement, citing information provided by five sources from three continents.

The man apparently remains at large and Interpol appealed for public assistance to track him down.

The suspect flew from South Korea to Bangkok last Thursday, where security cameras documented his arrival at immigration, the Lyon-France based organization said, citing help from South Korean and Thai authorities.

Interpol has also determined the man's name, nationality, date of birth, passport number and current and previous work places, but provided none of those details in its statement.

"Thailand is at the centre of an international manhunt and authorities in the country, in cooperation with Interpol and police around the world, are hunting him down," Interpol chief Ronald Noble said in the statement.

Some 350 people reportedly responded to Interpol's groundbreaking step last Monday of issuing a global request for assistance on its website, along with a picture of the suspect recovered from one of his own images.

"The response and contribution we have had from the public has been remarkable," said Noble, who also praised the media for publicizing the search.

International police and prosecutors are still collecting and analysing evidence to bring charges against the man Interpol has dubbed "Vico."

I fail to understand why there wasn't at least one picture in the OP.
"Have you seen this scumbag?" Strikes me as an irrelevant question without something to see.
So - no, I haven't seen him yet.

Ditto

*sigh* They do this all the time, trying to look super smart, "Oh look what we can do!". Can I just have one slap at them? If I ask nicely?

this DIRTBAG just got CAUGHT!

Public help led to arrest of paedophile suspect: Interpol
Friday Oct 19 14:26 AEST


Tip-offs received from across the globe gave police the breakthrough that led to today's arrest of a Canadian schoolteacher accused of sexually abusing boys in Southeast Asia, Interpol said.

Christopher Paul Neil, 32, was nabbed in Thailand's third-largest city, Nakhon Ratchasima, following an unprecedented appeal from international police organisation Interpol for public help in finding him.

"The fact that we went to the public was the breakthrough," Interpol detective Mick Moran said.

"We are absolutely delighted that this guy has been arrested," he added.

Moran led the global manhunt for Neil, who was identified as a suspect after German special police were able to unscramble digital photos that allegedly showed him having sex with young boys.

Interpol posted a picture of his face on its website and received hundreds of tip-offs from around the world that helped authorities identify him and track him to Thailand.

Neil is accused by Interpol of sexually assaulting 12 boys and posting 200 pictures of the crimes on the Internet. He faces charges in Thailand of sexually abusing a nine-year-old boy in 2003.

I think it's clear you underestimate the stupidity of humans.

i dont thinnk so kadath. cos even if just one paedophile gets away with it now, now that they are aware of the story which was splashed across the worlds media then interpol has done the children an injustice.

its similar to the terrorism cases where there is media blackout as to how evidence was sought, so it should be the same in this case for the better good of the victims or potential victims.

I have a huge crush on her.

I can't get behind the idea of the authorities deciding what's safe to tell us. Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.
