A 93-year-old Australian accused of sex crimes against Chiang Mai children has asked the court to free him because, he says, he is dying of cancer anyway.


When arrested in 2010 on charges of multiple sex abuse against children, Karl Joseph Kraus walked to the court.


Karl Joseph Kraus, first arrested in 2010, has been held in prison awaiting trial because he tried to skip bail and flee to Myanmar last year.

"I'll be dead" before a trial can be held, Mr Kraus said, according to a report on Tuesday in the Sydney Morning Herald of Australia.

He claimed he is suffering from terminal prostate cancer. The Chiang Mai Criminal Court will hear his plea to be released on March 18.

Mr Kraus is accused of molesting four young sisters, all of them under age. He allegedly lured them to his home with promises of chocolates and English lessons when the youngest girl was only five.

When he was arrested, police said they seized more than 100 photographs of naked children - some with Mr Kraus in them.

Police say Mr Kraus gave his young victims money. They also allege he emailed some of the obscene pictures of youngsters overseas, suggesting he was part of an international paedophilia network.

After his arrest three years ago, the court granted him bail of 400,000 baht. He was photographed at the court, and appeared sprightly, and drove his own car around Chiang Mai.

Last August, he was detained in Myanmar, where he allegedly asked authorities to arrest him and deport him to Australia. The Myanmar border officials declined, and sent him back to Thailand, where he was re-arrested and had his bail revoked.

He has stepped up his complaints and allegations that Thai prison and justice officials have denied him medical treatment. His lawyer has told the court Mr Kraus is unfit to stand trial.

"Nobody helps me. This is terrible," the Australian newspaper quoted Mr Kraus. "They put me in jail when I was sick. I can’t walk but they still put me in prison."

en gammel mand som føler, at alle er imod ham. Jeg er gammel i må ikke straffe mig klynker han

Sjovt nok. Jeg må være et ondt menneske, for jeg syntes ikke at det er synd for ham

---

Så må jeg også være ond.
Jeg føler ingen medlidenhed ham, hvor mange børn har han mon udnytter gennem sit lange liv?

---

Så er vi 3 onde,-for jeg melder også fra.
Bare synd at han ikke blev opdaget noget tidligere, han har muligvis levet af det svineri i mange år((1((

---

))lil=(

I er ikke alene om at være onde, for det er jeg bestemt også i denne sag.
:(

---

I er onde, VI er onde
han fortjener intet, kun smerte

---

En skrækindjagende historie.

Men på en underlig måde bliver jeg ikke rigtigt forbavset.

Blandt os der har levet med thailændere har der vel indsneget sig en lumsk mistanke om at de ikke helt har den samme opfattelse af værdien af menneskeliv, og hvad der er vigtigst her i livet.

Fakta er jo at der er nogle der sælger sine børn for at tjene penge.
Det findes der også eksempler på i Danmark, her er der bare ingen undskyldning for det.

Men spørg jer selv hvorfor den Thailandske Regering ikke for længst har sat en stopper for de pædofile, måske fordi der findes brådne blandt dem selv?

det skidt findes i alle samfundslag, over alt i alverdens samfund, selv i lille danmark

Hvorfor stopper den danske regering ikke den side:ARGH

Der kommer millioner af turister til Thailand hvert år.

Ikke alle kommer for at nyde naturen, mange kommer for at få sex de ikke kan få hjemmefra.
Og uanset hvad de thailandske politikere tror om landets omdømme, så er det altså det der lokker mange turister til.

Deriblandt også pædofile.

---

Tjae eneber, nok fordi det endnu ikke er muligt at kontrollere folks tanker, kun deres gerninger.

---

Enhver kan gå ind på den hjemmeside og læse om deres skidt, det er ikke kun tanker men skrevne ord. Ikke mere fra min side bliver sku for gal på de dyr((1((

---

Du har min fulde forståelse enebær, jeg hader dem også.
Så lad os i fællesskab aflive dem, hvis du har en plan så send mig en PB, så danner vi et netværk.

---

så er det slut for en af dem der skal aflives det ordnede hvor-herre for os

Accused paedophile dies in jail

CHIANG MAI: A 94-year-old Australian accused of peadophilia has died in jail.

Karl Joseph Kraus died on Thursday while awaiting trial on charges of raping four sisters aged between 7 and 15 at his home in Doi Saket, according to the Phuket News.

Seated in a wheelchair, Kraus made his first court appearance iin Chiang Mai on April 30 last year. His lawyers argued that he was not fit to stand trial because he was suffering from dementia and cancer.

Kraus was originally arrested in 2010. Parents of the four sisters claimed he had lured the girls to his house by offering them English lessons, money, and chocolate.

Germany-born Kraus, a former railway worker from Sydney who lived for a time in Western Australia, was accused of abusing the four sisters for almost two years.

Arresting officers also found child pornography on Kraus's computer. Authorities said he faced up to 20 years in jail if convicted.

He pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault.

Following his arrest Kraus was granted bail of 400,000 baht but fled to Myanmar. Authorities there arrested him in August 2012 for lacking a valid visa and sent him back to Thailand, where he was locked up for jumping bail.
