Indonesian National Police Report 236 Child Sexual Abuse Cases First Five Months of 2019
This is utterly absurd! 236 CSAs in 5 months in a country of 265 million people. Based on typical countries there should be about 300,000 cases of child sex abuse in 5 months. In other words, the official record accounts for less than 1% of the actual CSA that happens in Indonesia
According to the national police, 236 cases of child sexual assault have occurred in January to May this year.
Unfortunately, only 50 per cent of all cases were handled by a law enforcement officer.
“In this year we found 236 cases [from January] until May. Only 50 percent was completed,” police chief of general information, Commissioner Asep Adi Saputra said.
This is largely attributed to the public’s unwillingness to open up about sexual crimes. “We know that most people are reluctant to report a child sexual abuse case because of our strong eastern customs,” Asep added. He also stated that sometimes parents tend to consider the psychological condition of the abused child and threats from the perpetrator.
The national police are currently conducting a cyber patrol via social media in attempt to combat crime against children.
The 32 London sex offenders, child abusers
and paedophiles jailed so far this year
These horrible people have been found guilty of
some of the worst crimes imaginable
By Charlie Lawrence-Jones
My London
While all crimes have a lasting effect on victims, sexual offences offences can have horrible life-long consequences. Every day courts in London punish sex offenders, child abusers and paedophiles for their horrific actions.
The judges rightly lock many of these disgusting people up, for the harm they have already done and to make sure it doesn't happen again.
And yet, far too many are given light sentences and allowed out to repeat their extremely destructive behaviour against women and children.
Since the start of the year a series of despicable criminals have found themselves jailed for offences ranging from rape to 'upskirting'.
Here are their pictures and the stories behind them:

Welsh internet paedophile caught with ‘distressing’ child abuse films and vile animal pornography
By Iwan Gabe Davies
South Wales Argus
A MARRIED man caught with more than 200 films of children being sexually abused and extreme animal pornography is behind bars.
Some of the disturbing videos Stephen Parker, from Blaenau Gwent, downloaded from the internet showed the young victims in “pain and distress”, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Thomas Stanway said it had taken days for the defendant to download some of the movies from a torrent site. Parker had more than 180 category A images which depict the most serious examples of child sexual abuse.
The child victims in all the films he had were aged between five and 14 and were mostly of girls.
The 55-year-old, of Orchard Street, Brynmawr, was caught after officers from Gwent Police’s high tech crime unit raided his home last month. When the search warrant was executed, Parker told them they would find what they were looking for on his computer.
During his police interview, the defendant denied to detectives that he had a sexual interest in children and claimed he watched the films “out of curiosity”. He told them he had not shown them or distributed them to anyone else.
Parker pleaded guilty to making 184 category A films, 20 at category B and eight at category C.
He also admitted possessing 21 extreme pornographic images involving animals.
All the offences were committed between June 8 and July 10 this year although he admitted accessing similar material for a number of months.
The court heard Parker had 24 previous convictions for 55 offences, which included fraud and theft, but none for sex crimes.
Shouldn't there be a rule like 23 strikes and you're out!
Jeffrey Jones, mitigating, said his client was married and added: “He lives an isolated existence and his relationship, his marriage, is currently on the rocks and he has been separated for some time.”
His barrister told the court that Parker had been held on remand since his arrest last month. Mr Jones said: “He has been to prison before for dissimilar matters and finds it, at his age, hard and a complete shock to the system.”
He invited the court to pass a sentence in which the defendant could be rehabilitated.
But Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke said the offences were so serious that she could only impose immediate custody.
Parker was jailed for 20 months and told he must register as a sex offender for the next 10 years. He was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for a decade and must pay a victim surcharge upon his release from jail.
Israel police support criminal charges for
Deputy Health Minister in Malka Leifer affair
By Sommer Brokaw

(UPI) -- Israeli authorities recommended criminal charges Tuesday for deputy health minister Yaakov Litzman, who police say aided an accused pedophile.
Police said they've collected enough evidence to charge Litzman with fraud, breach of trust and witness tampering, stemming from cases that involve former Australian school principal Malka Leifer.
Authorities said Litzman attempted to pressure a Jerusalem psychiatrist into saying Leifer was not fit for extradition to Australia to stand trial. He's also accused of exerting undue influence over other evaluations of Leifer's mental state. Leifer faces 74 criminal counts of child sex abuse.
Leifer fled from Australia to Israel in 2008 amid accusations she sexually abused students at an all-girl ultra-Orthodox school in Melbourne. She was arrested in Israel in 2014, but released after she was declared mentally unfit for legal proceedings. She was again arrested last year after an undercover investigation concluded otherwise.
Jewish Community Watch Director Meyer Seewald said the police charges show Litzman shielded her from extradition.
The deputy health minister has also been investigated in the past for supposedly giving preferential treatment for convicted pedophiles in prison, including efforts to secure early parole.
Litzman, an ultra-Orthodox Party leader and key ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has denied the accusations.
"Lizman has worked throughout his years for the benefit of Israeli citizens, with complete transparency and by law," his office said in a statement."The [recommendation] also clearly shows the police also believe that no offense was committed in most of the suspicions.
"We are unquestionably confident that, upon close examination, it will be revealed that no crime was committed by the deputy minister."

Kiwi who published 'instructive advice' on how to
have sex with children to be deported from Oz
By: Anna Leask
New Zealand Herald
A New Zealander convicted of producing and sharing child pornography has been deported from Australia.
Among his "simply appalling" offending was a self-written narrative about his sexual experiences with children aged between 10 and 13 and an instructional documentary about paedophilia.
Gregory Boyce, 59, moved to Australia in 1979. In 2016 and 2017 he was convicted of offending related to the production, dissemination, possession and electronic carriage of child pornography material.
In August last year, while Boyce was in prison, a delegate of the Minister for Home Affairs decided to mandatorily cancel his visa on the basis that he did not pass the character test.
A month later Boyce requested a revocation of the decision but was rejected. He then lodged an application for a review with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of Australia.
The tribunal released its decision, affirming the original decision to revoke Boyce's visa. The decision reveals details of Boyce's sexually deviant offending.
On Septemer 22, 2016, Boyce was sentenced in the Newcastle District Court on five charges. He was jailed for eight years and three months. On March 10, 2017, he was handed down a further sentence for similar offending in the Downing Centre District Court.
Senior tribunal member Theodore Tavoularis said Boyce's offending was "very serious". "The nature of the offending is simply appalling and beyond rational explanation," he said.
"[Boyce's] involvement with the type of offending for which he was convicted was significantly extensive. The child exploitation material found in his possession involved some 21,322 depicted child victims, they being predominantly female with their ages ranging from infancy to 15 years of age.
"The offending involved an undeniable predisposition to the defilement of both the dignity and personal rights - as innocent children - of the victims."
Tavoularis said sentencing notes from Newcastle stated there was both "an extraordinary amount of material" located on a storage device owned by Boyce with an "astonishing level of explicitness". "Some 19,643 files were located on his device [and] featured penetrative sex with children, ranging from children in their infancy to children of 12 years of age.
"The depictions also involved the humiliation and torture of children in various forms, including but not limited to the depiction of children involved in urolagnic activity between themselves or with adults, as well as the participation of children in bestialic activity.
"This portion of the material included documentary material about child sex abuse and, perhaps most notably, 'A Guide to Paedophilia and How to Practice Child Love'."
In addition, there were also more than 1000 "outgoing transmissions" sent by Boyce about child pornography "wherein he created his own narrative about sexual experiences with children ranging from 10-13 years of age". The transmissions "offered instructive advice to readers about how to have sex with children".
Also found were 68 messages from Boyce to young people under 16. In some messages he spoke in graphic details about his genitals and he offered on at least one occasion to send an explicit photograph to one child.
In his application Boyce claimed a "head injury" he sustained as a 13-year-old "somehow adversely affected [his] cognitive ability which, in turn, now serves to mitigate or otherwise explain his very serious offending".
A psychologist said Boyce did have a neurological disorder. "However, Boyce's interest in child abuse material appears to have stemmed from events in his life when a young person, and while the impact of his neurological condition might have added to some disinhibition it is unlikely to be causative of the behaviour he is currently facing court for."
Tavoularis said "even a cursory view of Boyce's criminal history confirmed he was a serious offender. Were he to re-offend, vulnerable members of the Australian community – children, in the main - would be realistically harmed as a result of [his] unresolved disposition towards very serious crimes of sexually offending in relation to children.
"In today's world, the potential for harm and the offending itself has grown exponentially because it can occur in a virtual and online paradigm. Only one thing remains constant: the children are the victims and bear both the physical and emotional brunt of this appalling and very serious."
Boyce addressed the tribunal himself in a bid to convince them to let him stay in Australia. "While I acknowledge the commission of the offences and express my sincere remorse for having engaged in the relevant conduct, I submit that the offences are of a generally minor nature," he said.
Tavoularis considered the application but said there was "a strong and convincing likelihood that he will engage in further very serious conduct if returned to the Australian community".
"Were he to re-offend, the potential harm that would be occasioned to others - and in particular children, who are perhaps the most vulnerable people in our community - would be both physically and psychologically substantial, very serious and quite conceivably catastrophic," he said.
"In consideration of all of the evidence, and each of the relevant factors ... weighs very heavily and determinatively in favour of non-revocation.
"While Boyce has lived in Australia for approximately 40 years, there is scant evidence of any significantly strong ties to this country. As confirmed by his representative, [Boyce] has always been "... a single person and a single man, and apart from some friends has no family or children in Australia."
Boyce confirmed he had three siblings in New Zealand and he had good contact with them.
Tavoularis concluded that the revocation of the visa was the right decision.
It is not known when the man will return to New Zealand or where he will be based.
The headline for this article originally said that he 'was deported'. Now, here, the writer admits that he may yet have to be deported. One wonders how someone with an 8 year prison sentence in 2016, and another unknown sentence added in 2017, could be deported in 2019. Surely he must finish more than a third of his sentence before being deported.

Abused 'always blamed herself' sex trial of Mitchell Purvis hears at Oxford Crown Court
By Will Walker @OxMailWilliamW
An alleged victim of historical child sex crimes 'always blamed herself' for the abuse, a court has heard.
Prosecutors at Oxford Crown Court claim that Mitchell Purvis regularly abused his child victim on numerous occasions during the 1980s in Didcot.
The 54-year-old of Kynaston Road, Didcot, denies 10 counts alleging indecent assault, sexual intercourse with a child and buggery.
As the trial continued today a former partner of the alleged victim took to the witness box. Speaking of their relationship after the alleged abuse had ended he told jurors: "She said things [about what] happened to her when she was younger, as a child, sexual acts.
"She always blamed herself."
It's part of grooming, very often, for perverts to make the child feel responsible for his/her own abuse. It is one of the many, many cruelties paedophiles commit against children.
Asked if he remembered her telling him how old she was during these acts he said: "I seem to remember thinking she was 13 or 14, but my statement says she says she was younger than that.
"She was a child."
Quizzed on whether the alleged victim had discussed specifics of what happened he said that she told him 'everything had happened sexually'.
He went on to say that she went on to receive counselling for what she claimed happened but added: "She didn't stick with it."
During cross examination it was put to him that the woman had continued to drink throughout their relationship, an assertion he agreed.
Asked if her talking about the alleged abuse made him 'more sympathetic to her' he said: "Absolutely yes but I had known about it for 20-something years back then. She told me so many times."
Earlier in the trial the alleged victim took to the witness box to tell jurors what she claimed happened to her. She said she thought the sex was 'normal' and she saw Purvis as her 'boyfriend'.
Purvis denies all the charges and the trial continues.
Scotland - Sheriff did not err in law in finding child’s evidence of parental sex abuse ‘not trustworthy’
By Mitchell Skilling
A woman who appealed the granting of a contact order on the grounds that the sheriff had not ascribed appropriate weight to child evidence in light of expert evidence has had her appeal refused.
The Sheriff Appeal Court, sitting in Edinburgh, heard an appeal by CM, the defender at first instance, against the decision to grant ME-M, the respondent and pursuer, a contact order in relation to their daughter, “A”.
The appeal was heard by Sheriff Principal Abercrombie, sitting with Appeal Sheriffs Braid and Small.
‘Sexualised comments’
The appellant and the respondent were in a relationship from 2000 to 2015 and had “A” together, who was born in 2011. Following the couple’s separation, A lived with her mother. In 2016, the respondent applied for an order for contact under the Children (Scotland) Act 1995, which was opposed by the appellant but granted in January 2019.
The application was opposed by the appellant on the basis of her child beginning to report matters to her in 2015 which suggested that she was possibly the target of sexual abuse, which the appellant was concerned was at the instance of her father. A was the subject of a joint interview by police and social workers, after which A began to claim that her father was involved. The respondent was not charged with any offence following the interview, and had never been charged with any such offence in the past. However, following the interview the parties separated.
In the years following the interview, the appellant contended that A expressed a fear of the respondent to her mother and made reference to a number of instances of alleged inappropriate sexual contact, to the respondent showing her a number of sexual images on an iPad, and to threats of physical violence. It was also alleged that A had made a number of sexualised comments to her school friends that she said she had learned from the pursuer and drawn a picture containing sexual imagery. The respondent denied any responsibility for this conduct.
The sheriff at first instance weighed A’s hearsay evidence against other findings in fact in which A repeated little of this information in later joint investigative interviews by the police and social workers, and found that he was unable to accept it as trustworthy. He also found the pursuer’s evidence to be credible. There was no evidence of sufficient quality and weight to allow him to conclude that A’s father had sexually abused her. On this basis, and that the interim contact granted prior to the case had gone satisfactorily, he found that it was in A’s best interest to continue to have contact with her father.
