This is an outrage!

The only outrage is that this man is still alive and walking free. Some
crimes are so outrageous that national boundaries should not matter and this
piece of filth is an example. Locking him in a cage with a psychopath may be
too good for him.

Prosecutor Says Man Visited Pedophile Resort
By SUSAN SAULNY

A former Brooklyn pediatrician took beach vacations to Mexico and Central
America not to enjoy sun and sand, but rather to have sex with young boys
at a resort for pedophiles, a federal prosecutor told a Manhattan jury
yesterday as the man's trial began.

The former doctor, Stefan Irving, 56, of Sunset Park, traveled to Mexico
and Honduras, where he baited boys as young as 6 with action figures and
children's books, then took advantage of them, Michael Scudder, an
assistant United States attorney, said in his opening statement in Federal
District Court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defendant did not stay at a Holiday Inn," Mr.
Scudder said. "He stayed at a resort where American men go to have sex
with
boys."

Mr. Irving was arrested in May after a lengthy nationwide investigation
led
the authorities to a guesthouse in Acapulco, where they say boys from 6 to
17 were recruited off the streets and given shelter in exchange for sex.

Mr. Irving is charged with traveling internationally to engage in sex with
a minor. If he is convicted, he will face up to 30 years in prison.

Mr. Irving lost his license to practice medicine after being convicted of
attempted sexual abuse of a child in 1983.

Mr. Irving's lawyer, Andrew Citron, said in his opening statement that the
government had a "tremendous absence of evidence" to support its charges
in
the current case. Mr. Citron also told the jury that Mr. Irving certainly
had an interest in minors, but that his interest was "not illegal."

"He had many other reasons to make these trips other than to have sex with
minors," Mr. Citron said of Mr. Irving. He later added, "These were normal
vacations."

Mr. Citron criticized the government's evidence, which includes entries
from Mr. Irving's personal journal and testimony from the manager of the
Mexican guesthouse. He said that the journal excerpts about boys were
incomplete and misleading, and that the manager of the guesthouse had
ulterior motives for cooperating with prosecutors.

Officials have said the manager told them that on more than one occasion
he
observed a boy accompanying Mr. Irving into his bedroom at night.
According
to the complaint, the manager told investigators that Mr. Irving
questioned
him about which boys were staying at the guesthouse.

"The manager stated that Irving asked for such information because,
perhaps
among other reasons, he wanted to be certain that his favorite boys would
be at the house when he visited from the United States," the complaint
stated.

Agreed. But still, how can they prosecute for something that happened in
another country? "traveling internationally to engage in sex with a minor"?

Well, I agree with you. It really is hard to imagine a reasonable
jurisdictional basis for prosecuting someone for something that
happened in a different country, not to mention, it is really
difficult to see how you could get a fair trial without the right to
subpoenal witnesses, etc.

Do not forget, the guy could be innocent. People get so outraged
about certain crimes that the convinction of an innocent person
becomes much more likely. Or as they say: "Child molestation, a
crime so heinous that innocence is no defense."

They should allow the Mexican authorities to prosecute him if they
choose, with normal extradition procedures.

Steve Chaney's forger is very modest in this area. He doesn't not
carry a cane with notches in it ... besides, he would get into
trouble with the cops and give certain priests competition.
