I was just watching Dateline. Remember when they had that story a while back about little girls in Cambodia, as young as 5 years old, who were being prostituted for sex, mostly to tourists from America and other countries? Well, they had an update on that tonight. A guy named Donald Baker from Canada was found to be one of those tourists and he had made videotape of himself fucking at least four of these children. He also had videotape of him raping three women in British Columbia, Canada. He apparently liked to beat and torture them too. Now, you would think, with there being actual VIDEOTAPE of all this, and the fact that the police were able to match Donald's videotapes up with the videotapes Dateline had made (same girls, same places) that he would get the ultimate punishment, right? The detectives even told Dateline, "It was an airtight case." This guy got seven years for his crimes. SEVEN YEARS! Stay away from the man in this picture. He'll be out of prison and raping and torturing women and little girls in probably LESS than seven years if he gets out early for good behavior. If women ruled the world, this dickhead would be in prison for life. What the hell is wrong with people? Why would you let someone plea bargain their case when you have an "airtight" case? I really don't get it.
Quoted from Vancouver Police Department:
"Members of the Sexual Offence Squad viewed the contents of the videotape, which revealed many disturbing images involving the degradation and infliction of pain to a number of local sex trade workers.
Those tapes have now been viewed by members of the Sexual Offence Squad and have led to the discovery of many more disturbing images, depicting not only the degradation of additional sex trade workers, but also the infliction of what can only best be described as "extreme violence" to a large number of local sex trade workers.
Chief Jamie Graham said, "I can tell you that in the 25 years that I have been in policing, these are by far the most disturbing images I have ever viewed and this investigation has had a huge emotional impact on all of the investigators assigned."
51 prostitues in BC accused him of committing "sadistic sexual assualts" on them. 10 YEARS???
Here are some links if you want to read more and get the gory details and try to figure out why in the hell he is only serving 7 years. He was actually sentenced to 10 years, but it's seven years when you count time-served. He will be eligible for parole after serving 1/6 of his 7 remaining years. According to the Globe, Bakker's own videotapes of his crimes were "so disturbingly violent that seasoned police investigators needed counseling."
Can you believe this shit?
