Star Telegram | 11/19/2002 | Prison term for 'sex tourist'
I hesitate to even post about this, but it is worth commenting on. Please, if you are easily (or even not so easily) disgusted and disturbed, or if you struggle with perverse thoughts, or if you do not wish to read about an absolute monster, or if you under 18, please don't read this.
I have put the bulk of my commentary in the extended entry section of this post. If you are reading this on the front page of my blog, you will have to click on "MORE" to read my comments. If you are looking at this on my archives, then my comments are below.
A rare federal prosecution of an American "sex tourist" who molested children abroad ended with a 5 1/2-year prison sentence Monday
I am glad this case was prosecuted and the man is being sent to prison. But 5 1/2 years is nowhere near long enough. Read what he did.
According to court records, Bredimus traveled to northern Thailand in October 2001 to record videotapes and photographic images of Thai children engaged in sexual acts. He also admitted that he videotaped himself in sex acts with a 13-year-old boy in a hotel room.
He is a child molester. A child pornographer. A monster.
It gets worse.
Recalling evidence caught on videotape, Groves said a boy is seen crying as Bredimus digitally penetrates him.
The fact that the little boy was clearly being hurt (physically or emotionally or both), and that Bredimus didn't stop, is horrendous. He doesn't deserve 5 1/2 years. He deserves death.
In my flesh, I hope that in prison he frequently finds himself in the same situation that poor 13 year old boy did.
Mills said in an interview that he could not explain what prompted Bredimus, a law-abiding, successful businessman and family man, to get himself in so much trouble, ruining his reputation and hurting his family.
Bredimus showed no signs of being a pedophile, Mills said.
"This case strikes me as very unusual, possibly unique," Mills said.
How can anyone call this monster "a law-abiding...family man" who shows "no signs of being a pedophile"? And where is Mr. Mills's concern for the pain Mr. Bredimus caused to his victims and their families?
I can also clear up for Mr. Mills why it is that Mr. Bredimus did this.
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: ... 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
