PANAJI (Goa), Aug 11 (OneWorld) - A decade after Interpol declared the
western Indian tourist hotspot of Goa a major pedophile hub,
investigations conducted by a national newsweekly using hidden cameras
have revealed that hundreds of Europeans visit the state to seek
sexual gratification through children.
Armed with hours of secret recordings done over five months, the
newsweekly Tehelka, which has in the past unearthed serious corruption
in military deals and match fixing in international cricket, claims
the pedophile trail could be traced all the way to tourists from
Britain, Germany, Holland, France, Switzerland and Sweden.
Tehelka's candid shots - which were shown on a national TV channel
last week - have captured the various aspects of pedophile activity on
the island.
It says foreign pedophiles find Goa "easy, and cheap, to sexually
abuse a child here". Following crackdowns on child-sex tourism across
Thailand and Sri Lanka, the "pedophile bus has rolled into Goa," it
charges.
Tehelka also dug-up a 2001 report, commissioned by the UK government
and done by prominent former police investigator Ric Wood, to map the
extent of tourism-related pedophilia in Goa.
Says the weekly, "Over a two-week period, Wood compiled 37 case
histories. The report suggests it is virtually impossible to quantify
how many pedophiles visit Goa every year. It's been almost a decade
since Interpol declared Goa as the upcoming pedophile destination. Yet
the government of India has slipped into deep slumber."
Goa's pedophile links were exposed in the Freddy Peat case. A
septuagenarian of foreign origin, holding an Indian passport, he was
involved in the homosexual abuse of young boys.
Peat ran an "orphanage," where he and other foreign visitors abused
young boys, till one boy complained and the police unearthed a
shocking scam with 2,305 photographs, mostly showing young boys in
various stages of sex abuse.
Sexual abuse of children is an issue which has been raised by
concerned citizens and even the media and nongovernmental
organizations in India. But officials have often played down such
concerns. Now the blurred images of secret-camera recordings came
alive, as people spilled the beans about the goings-on on Indian TV
screens.
