In a rather fortuitous turn of events, with the guy facing a long prison sentence, he left Korea for Thailand. Lucky move #1, because Thai prisons exist on a whole different level of ass-suckery than Korean prisons. In a second lucky move, he went to Korat, where he tried to blend in with 1,000 other foreigners who live there, instead of going to Pattaya, where he could have tried to blend in with the 30,000 resident foreigners and tourists.
So, instead of disappearing, and raping more boys (and giving one other guy the right to claim he's not the most reviled scumbag Canadian sex offender in Pattaya), this pedophile has happily been caught, and is looking at 20-plus years in some of the harshest prison conditions on the planet.
Congratulations to the Thai people for using the media to get the whole country involved in this manhunt, and locating this guy as quickly as they did, and putting him in a disease-infested, soul-sucking hell hole for what may hopefully be the rest of his natural life.
UPDATE:
According to the first comment I got, Canadian authorities are going to try to extradite this demon back to the pleasant confines of a Canadian jail, instead of letting him stay in a Thai jail cell with 100 other prisoners in 100ยบ tropical heat, 1000 insects, and 1 million diseases. I wonder which jail the victims and their parents would chose for our culprit?
UPDATE II:
He did come here to Pattaya first... and then went north to Korat.
UPDATE III:
The extradition may not be as sure a thing as originally thought:
The B.C. attorney general says Thai authorities have first dibs on prosecuting Neil but B.C. will probably ask for his extradition, depending on what the province's criminal justice branch recommends.
UPDATE IV:
Pattaya City News has exclusive CCTV footage of the pedophile checking into a Soi VC hotel. (Soi VC is the street next to Sunee Plaza, where the underage gay sex trade — and presumably the cops that arrest people who engage in it — tends to focus in Pattaya.)

Wrong (again). Numerous earlier news stories have already stated he will be extradited to Canada and tried there. Too bad, though. He does deserve a Thai prison, but won't see much of one.

I didn't realize he had abused boys in Canada as well... the only thing the stories mentioned was "Asian boys" or more specifically, "Cambodian and Vietnamese boys".
Still though... it looks like Thailand may get a shot at prosecuting him.
Thailand won't keep him; look at history, they turn over foreign crimminals a lot; especially if the 'host' country wants them back.
How is Canada's outlook on these types of crimes? Do they take a laid back aproach or will they make him suffer in prison?
I hate to be a killjoy here, but what happened to the presumption of innocence?
I've gotten burned too many times buying the stories I've heard in the mainstream press. Perhaps this guy is the devil and has caused a lot of misery in the world, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was just a scapegoat--the latest distraction to make people think about things other than the real problems of the world.
jd,
I appriciate what your saying but having photos of yourself in sexual conduct positions with young boys is different and slightly more damming than 'reports' of WMD in the desserts of the middle east!
This news piece is ridculously bias. Firstly, he's not been convicted of anything yet, and the so called video unswirled hasn't been seen by anybody. Secondly, the victims and parents don't see things the same way as in Canada or any developed world. If these boys had sex with the guy then they would have been happy to receive money at the time. Hence, nobody has complained to the police until now. Get with it news writer. You can't have visited Asia. Parents and so called victims just don't look upon sex in quite the same way as you. If you really want to solve things, come here and donate your money to the needy and give them an education into what's sexually write on what's not. Then u might be talking....
canada is a paedophile like all anglo white countries. and racist thanks to their so called multicultural diversity its all fake . me an asian immigrant to canada destest weak canadian laws.its just a rich country with no soul.
