C’mon,child sex, really? a 16 yr old transvestite cannot be imagined as a child now can he/she? We are talking about a very confused individual who has led a life of prostitution and dishonest culpability–hardly a “child” This headline smacks of sensationalism. Leave the poor guy alone, let him return to Costa Rica. Hasn’t he been punished enough already? This is hardly a child victim. The transvestite should be jailed for theft, throw away the key and stop this persecution of this man. Looks like he found out that he was duped by a he/she and then robbed by “it”. Who wouldn’t be mad as all heck? Not only duped and put in a horrible position by a prostitute who draws in innocent men ( after all isn’t prostitution legal in Colombia as it is in Costa Rica)? But to be robbed as well? So he didn’t pay “it”–so what? “It” is very lucky that “It wasn’t killed by a customer who found out that he had been duped by a “he/she” . There are many men who would think nothing of putting such a creepy individual out of “it’s misery

I hope they keep him locked up in “prevention” for a couple of months, at least, before permitting him to come back here and face the music for sure. .

Well, there was an additional, much older prostitute involved too. My total guess is that the guy got drunk on vacation and had no idea that one of the hookers was underage, and he may not have paid “her” after discovering that she was a he. It also looks like the two prostitutes worked as a team, and set the guy up, with the older prostitute intentionally using the underage one to take the rap as a juvenile. Indeed, the fact that the fellow reported the theft tells you that he had no idea that the one was underage or probably that the business aspect of the transaction had gone bad.

I don’t want to act as a character witness for this fellow, but it looks a lot like his only “crime” was to get drunk and stupid. To spin it as him sexually exploitating a minor, while technically probably correct and the crux of his woes, makes a mockery out of the real exploitation of children. The exploiter in this tale is probably the older prostitute, who set it all up and used the 16-year-old as legal cover, while the 16-year-old would also seem to be a seasoned thug (and likely would be tried as an adult in the US).

This said, to quote Letterman, “I wouldn’t give his problems to a monkey on a rock.” This is a stiff price to pay for getting drunk and stupid while on vacation.

So typical of Costa Rican government, actually all politicians are like this except this was too stupid and screwed himself otherwise he would have been in office forever because no one can take out corrupt politicians out of power. Once again Costa Rica in the top 20 most corrupt countries in the world.

I’m sorry I just find this so mind boggling. How can a supposedly intelligent human being do something so arrogantly stupid? You engage in an activity that is illegal. You refuse to pay for a transaction that is legal. Then you report to police that you were robbed. Thus triggering an investigation that results in your arrest and public humiliation. I can’t wait for the next chapter.

Ulate from PAC, He will spin this story he was the victim. It comes down to”" HE said SHE said”". Well let’s see how this plays out. IF there any follow up.
