WARNING, DISTRESSING CONTENT: A 44-year-old man from Ireland was arrested in Colombia after police burst in on him at his hotel in Medellin, Colombia, and allegedly caught him with a 15-year-old girl
Police in Colombia have detained a “depraved” sex tourist from Ireland who was allegedly caught in a hotel room with a 15-year-old girl after offering her £31 for sex.
Local policemen published video footage of the 44-year-old Dublin resident, identified only as Seamus, being handcuffed and led to a police van. The guy was apprehended “red-handed” in a room of an undisclosed hotel in Medellin, Colombia.
The 34-year-old hotel manager was also detained, and both men were remanded to a local jail after appearing in court. According to William Castano Ramos, the head of Valle de Aburra’s Metropolitan Police, “An Irish citizen has been captured for the sexual exploitation of a minor under the age of 18 in the centre of Medellin.”
“A 15-year-old child was discovered inside one of the rooms at a hotel in the city center with a 44-year-old foreigner during check-in. The adolescent stated that this man promised her 160,000 pesos in exchange for a sexual contact with her.
“In addition to arresting this man in Dublin, Ireland, we also charged the hotel administrator with inciting prostitution. The hotel has been prevented from opening as part of a temporary measure while the criminal investigation is ongoing.”
Medellin Mayor Federico Gutierrez declared war on sex tourists in April, prohibiting the provision of sexual services in another Medellin neighborhood for six months. On X, he described the suspect as a “depraved person” and stated, “We will not stop fighting against sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in Medellin.” “No tolerance.”
“A citizen complaint, as well as fast and coordinated action by police and public prosecutors, enabled the identification of a foreign individual who entered a hotel in the city center with a minor. This individual was detained for requesting the sexual exploitation of a minor under the age of 18, and the hotel management for encouraging prostitution.”
“The Irish national, Seamus, a 44-year-old from Dublin, had arrived in Colombia three months ago and had agreed to have a sexual contact with the 15-year-old for a payment of PESOS Colombia 160.000. He’d already paid her half of it.”
“The hotel’s business activities was temporarily halted for ten days, and a final closure was demanded. Both males apprehended have been remanded to preventative detention.”
“The message is clear: those who seek to exploit our children and women are not only not welcome, but will be pursued until they are apprehended. These filthy individuals will continue to fall.
