Pedophilia is widespread among US military officials and high-level diplomats going to Southeast Asia, claims investigative journalist Wayne Madsen.
Three Americans have been deported to the U.S. from Cambodia after being caught in a major police sting operation against pedophiles.
The men are all alleged to have engaged in sex with children.
The three previously convicted sex offenders were the first to be charged under “Operation Twisted Traveler,” an initiative targeting problems in Cambodia, which authorities described as ground zero for the crimes.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, says Ronald Boyajian, Erik Peeters and Jack Sporich arrived in Los Angeles late on Monday escorted by US authorities after being arrested in February by Cambodian police, the AP reports.
The three suspects were named in separate criminal complaints filed in April and May related to child sexual exploitation. They are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
“This is a huge problem with the U.S. diplomatic service. It’s known to the expat community in South East Asia. We even have cases of Congressional delegations going to Thailand and other South East Asian nations to partake of these child prostitutes. If the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok spent one tenth of its time on tracking down high level diplomat pedophiles, we might get somewhere in cracking this entire ring,” says RT contributor Wayne Madsen.

Repossessions soar in US as crisis continues unabatedHundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their homes every month because foreclosure rates have hit record highs due to the recession and many people cannot afford to pay their rent anymore. |
After watching the video, I was sick to my stomach that such depraved US Officials had engaged in such evil behavior. This must be stopped. It is more important that drugs and must be given higher priority. If the US continues to protect their officials like the Catholic church did their clergy engaged in similar acts, then the US will not only lose its moral high ground, it will lose its economic credibility at a time of war. Such behavior fuels the hatred of US enemies. These pedophiles must be brought to justice.
OMG. This should be blasted on FOX news. I'll write to write to the editor but everyone knows the truth will be squelched. Not only does the beloved U.S. army traffick heroin now they are pedophiles too.
