(US) Diplomat: Sex with teens OK in some cultures

MSNBC ^ | 7/10/08 | Staff

I have a friend who was in the Brazilian military (Air Force), who was 28 at the time, who dated the 17 year old daughter of a colonel.

I asked him if he didn’t think 17 was too young and he told me no, since the age of consent in Brazil was 12. I couldn’t believe that.

If the guy has to state it's ok due to 'cultural differences' then he knows it is wrong...period! Do those 'cultural differences' involved victimizing teen girls/boys and videotaping them for later use???

We need to get Jesse Jackson after him to cut his 'n^ts' off. LOL! :)

[RichInOC]

Then maybe you should have stayed over there, shouldn’t you, Gons?

[BallyBill]

Our military doesn't get any breaks when they have to deal with violent head choppers. That is because “We Aren't Like Them” Period.

Yet another "twist" to this pervert: Prominence in the nudist community

Another odd twist is Nachman's prominence in the nudist community: In the 1990s, when attending law school at the University of Pennsylvania, Nachman led several public demonstrations advocating nudity. Nachman now contends that he was targeted for investigation in part because of his well-known affinity for the nudist lifestyle.

In his letter to the Foreign Service director, Nachman says investigators knew of his interest in nudism and illegally searched his apartment with the notion of finding images that, taken out of context, could be used against him.

Nachman says in the letter that he disclosed his activism and lifestyle to the Foreign Service and had no problems receiving a security clearance. State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson declined to comment directly on whether an individual's advocacy for public nudity would be a factor in the State Department's hiring process.

Nachman's prominence in the nudist community was such that, even though his activism was more than a decade ago, some nudists feel compelled to distance themselves from him. In an upcoming issue of N Magazine, a publication of the Naturist Society, an editorial takes a strong stance against Nachman's conduct.

"The severity of what he did is unambiguous. Although his criminal actions were in no way connected with naturism, for many readers of the international news accounts, there will be guilt by association," the society wrote.

Perhaps the strangest twist in the case was Nachman's request that the judge who will sentence him conduct a marriage ceremony for him and his 21-year-old Brazilian fiancee. He wanted to be married before sentencing since he doubted that he would be able to marry once transferred to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons.

U.S. District Court Judge Gerald Bruce Lee rejected the request.

"There is a time and a place for everything. The Court finds that sentencing is neither the time nor the place" for a wedding, Lee wrote.

>>>Men who go overseas to have sex with children(anyone under 18) should be castrated.

Nonesense. Grizzled Bear had a much more fitting thought.

Diplomat Gons on duty.

[isom35]

hey I beat you by 3 seconds :)

[gridlock]

Maybe he should be drawn into fifths, instead of quarters...

[Old Sarge]

Diplomat: GUILTY.

Girl: Not Innocent (sadly)...

[Calpernia]

Any idea if US forces took possession of that industrial shredder Saddam’s regime was using?

Just a thought.

[elmer fudd]

Real bright idea he had there to tape it. Kind of like the gangbangers that save the surveillance tapes after robbing convenience stores.

And just imagine what the AIDS rate must be like among teen prostitutes in the Congo.

The case has been unusual on several fronts. It includes allegations that Nachman pressured attractive female visa applicants in Brazil for sex. Nachman admitted that he had sex with two women whom he met in the visa application process, but he denied coercing them and he was never charged in the matter.

This guy is pure slime. Put his walnuts on an anvil and introduce a 5 pound sledge hammer.

[Cicero]

I can’t find his background because google is filled to the brim with articles about his sex crimes. One minor addition is that his full name is given as Gons Gutiirrez Nachman, of Florida. I suspect that may be a misspelling of Gutierrez.

I’m thinking the pervert needs castrated.

Street Justice: stick this sickola next to big boys in San Quentin, any bets on the outcome?????/Just Asking - seoul62......

It’s really a shame for him of using these riduculos excuses for the leniency. He had take responsible for what he have done.
