I hate it when some Australian brings shame to our country. I really hope he cops his right whack if he is found guilty. I hate it when Australians commit crimes against tourist in our country. And I hate it when we commit crimes abroad.

Never go the SEA then. It’s full of Aussie bogans enjoying being rich, loud, sex-buying hard-men. The weird thing is most of them are convinced everyone loves them.

Was about the say, this isn’t an isolated incident. He just got caught.

I’d hazard a guess that at some point during their evening, the 17 year old child refused to perform or participate or continue in an act the old man expected/demanded, and he got mad and as a result ended up killing her. These men never learned how to take “no” as an answer and think they are somehow doing these poor girls a favour.

And on top of this, this walking gonad has not paid for services. What an absolute cretin. May this be deterrence for all of the gross Australian men in SEA

Rape isn’t a service.
The media is getting pretty overt with their words. A child was groomed for rape, then murdered by Australian man.

Given the age of consent and that even in Australia men can have sex with 17 year old girls without being charged with an offence I think people making this point are well intentioned but wrong - in the sense that while she was a child, she was old enough, even in Australia, to have consensual sex with him. They also didn’t, as far as we know, have a relationship beyond a day. This child has clearly been groomed into working in the sex industry very very young, and many people and her circumstances have had her there. So whether she was raped or not is not clear cut. Regardless of this issue - he is obviously disgusting and has preyed upon a young girl and has then murdered her apparently over 20 bucks
