Romanticisation of scoundrels

FMT - Man sentenced to 199 years in prison for child pornography

MEXICO CITY: An American who took pornographic photos of a girl with her mother’s consent, was sentenced to 199 years in prison, authorities in Mexico said Wednesday.

The man had been arrested in Manzanillo, in the western state of Colima for “taking images of a minor girl which he then sent to other countries on the Internet,” the prosecutor’s office said. It did not name the man, or provide the girl’s age.

In addition to his prison term, he was fined the equivalent of $96,000.

The mother was convicted as well for allowing the images to be taken of a minor since the girl was under the age of 18.

Mexico’s special prosecutor’s office for crimes against women and people trafficking, in the past five years has documented more than 4,000 pages of made-in-Mexico child pornography.

Malaysia doesn't have such a law to punish child pornography, so the police tells us.

Not only that, statutory rapes in some 'bright future' cases aren't statutory rapes but consensual sex. Read Malaysiakini's Unicef disturbed by Sibu child rape acquittal and my post 2nd chance as "boys will be boys".

In very-boleh Malaysia lil' 13-year old girls must have been considered so mature and intelligent that they could be relied upon to make very mature and considered decisions to have sex with an adult.

And perhaps that's the precise reason why a Year One lil' girl, admittedly not yet 13 year old (but why quibble over such triviality when it's obvious it's her bloody fault, ain't it), was treated like a common thief by her amazing teacher, just because she allegedly took her classmate eraser.

See The Star Online's Year One girl treated like a common thief which reported:

Does she deserve it?: The girl showing her bruised wrists (also closeup) after a teacher allegedly tied up her hands over a small matter at school.

GEORGE TOWN: A Year One pupil has claimed a teacher tied up her hands for allegedly taking an eraser belonging to a classmate at a school in Sungai Nibong here.

Furious at seeing the reddish marks on the girl’s wrists, her mother, known only as Chan, decided to lodge a police report over the matter.

Chan, 25, said her daughter was not even allowed to untie herself when she wanted to go to the toilet at the primary school.

“I noticed the injury when I went to pick her up at 6.40pm on Monday. She managed to free herself before school ended.

“Is the offence so serious that my daughter had to be tied up? Most children are mischievous but that does not mean they had to be punished in such a way,” she said when met outside the school yesterday.

Well, the lil' sweetie sure as hell didn't enjoy a 2nd chance unlike (statutory) rapist Noor Afizal Azizan or, if the public had not protested against the outrageous suggestion by one MARA councillor, convicted child pornography collector Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin.

For more of these two sleazy slimy slugs, see my post 2nd chance as "boys will be boys".

As for the so-called f* maths wonder, read Malaysiakini's article by Rom Naim titled Genius Boy Scholar? Rom scoffed at the nonsense of this so-called genius when he wrote:

Among the unfortunate aspects of media coverage of the convicted felon, Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin, have been the careless, even erroneous, descriptions of this child pornographer and possible paedophile.

The word ‘scholar’ in most discussions would invariably denote someone wise, an intellectual, an academic, a sage even.

Certainly, it would connote someone respectable and deserving of our respect.

How Nur Fitri Azmeer Nordin could be described as a ‘scholar’ - as he continues to be described in a number of news reports - beggars belief.

He was a third year university undergraduate when he was arrested, for heaven’s sake, so let’s please not elevate his status.

He has also been described as a ‘genius’, which, again, when you look at his actual achievements, is quite far off the mark.

Apparently he is quite good in maths and took part in this international math competition, but ended up very low down the table, with quite non-genius scores.

That’s about it. Nothing remarkable, nothing indicating a genius.

Then there’s yet another annoying description of this man that is way off the mark and seems to imply that he was just being naughty by making, downloading, and possibly distributing all that child porn.

And that is that he is a ‘boy’. A boy? He’s a 23 year-old man, for crying out loud. He’s eligible to vote, he could have a driving licence.

Indeed, he could legally go into any cinema in England and watch an X-rated movie. Which he probably did more than once.

The romanticisation of this person must stop. He’s a felon, convicted for the heinous acts of making, collecting and, I’m sure, distributing child pornography.

And, thus far, there have been no reports of him indicating his remorse for what he has done. Neither has there been any sign of regret - either from him or his sponsors.

Indeed, as if to illustrate their ignorance of what his crime really is, members of the institution/organisation sponsoring him, Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara), almost immediately came to his defence.

One - now infamous - Mara council member likened Nur Fitri to “a kid who played truant.”

“Played truant”? “A kid’’? This sounds exactly like the pathetic, idiotic whining of someone who evidently had not done his research.

He's f* lucky the Brits gave him only 5 years for his shameful crime when he deserves the 199 years that Mexican authorities gave to his fellow sleaze.

The term 'romanticisation of scoundrels' should also apply to the outrageous pronouncement of attributing a 'bright future' to (statutory) rapist Noor Afizal Azizan to ameliorate his very serious criminal act.
