The media and sex tourism stories.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2586617]Yeah, I figured I would read about this again having been to Colombia and now being skeptical of what went on in the American media: what I heard went on and what actually did are two different things. I thought that the police filed a complaint against a Secret Service officer and demanded that he pay up. When the SS agent did not pay, the hooker filed charges and the police contacted the American Embassy to complain. That is not what happened. After having been to Colombia, I was very skeptical the hotel and the police would side with a hooker over well to do cash rich Americans. I also did not know how much she asked for, and it was $800 for the night which we all know is fucking insane.
Here is a good account of what happened and is much more in line with what I have observed in Colombia:

But on their way back to the hotel, Suarez claims, she stopped to buy condoms and told Huntington that if they were going to spend the night together, he'd have to give her "a gift" afterward. She says that when she named her price$800Huntington didn't flinch. They continued on to the hotel.
What happened next is a matter of dispute. Huntington's version, according to sources familiar with his claims, is that he never knew Suarez was a prostitute and he told her to leave when she asked for money. Suarezwho later wrote a book about her night with the agentclaimed there was no misunderstanding and that she had clearly set her price before she went to the hotel.
Huntington gave Suarez the equivalent of about $30 in local currency and demanded she get out. "Let's go, *****. I'm not going to pay you," he said, according to Suarez, and shoved her out the door.
Suarez banged on the door of Bongino's room, across the hall, where her friendwho didn't ask to be paidhad spent the night. Suarez demanded that Bongino come up with the money to pay her. Suarez said that she threatened to call the police and that Bongino pleaded with her not to. He eventually went from room to room, asking his Secret Service brothers for "scoots," the term they use for local currency, or any US dollars they could spare. Bongino came up with $250 in mixed currency and gave it to Suarez.
During the commotion, a Colombian police officer, apparently stationed on the hotel floor, inquired about the argument and told Bongino he should pay Suarez. There are conflicting accounts about whether the police officer was advocating for Suarez or merely suggesting to Bongino that he give her the money to keep her quiet. But once she had the moneyabout a third of what she claimed she was owedSuarez left the hotel with her friend and got into a cab. They never reported the incident.
The manager of the Hotel Caribe, according to firsthand accounts, was incensed by a list of complaints about his boorish American guests. These didn't have to do with prostitutionwhich the hotel is accustomed to managingbut with loud partying at the swimming pool, broken glasses, and reports of dog feces littering public areas of the hotel and dog hair in beds.
The dogs' mess could be blamed on the Secret Service and military K-9 teams. The impromptu pool party was staged by a group of military service members, also staying at the hotel, who had trucked in their own alcohol, according to a source on the ground that night.
As the hotel was taking stock of the damages, the head of security for the Caribe called the US Embassy to report that a Colombian police officer had intervened in an altercation between a Secret Service agent, Bongino, and a local prostitute, Suarez.
End of quote.
It is funny how our fucking press got a hold of this and turned it into a woman who performed and got stiffed when the truth is that she was trying to rip this guy off.
And the notion of federal employees doing whatever the fuck they want and raising a commotion pissing off all the other guests is something I could certainly believe.
But the notion that the police were stumping for a working girl charging $800 a night is fucking crazy. The other crazy notion is that a hotel would back a hooker over a paying customer.
After reading this article though, this fits what I have seen in Colombia. I just shake my head at the way this story was reported in our media. It fucking cracks me up.[/QUOTE]I tend to be wary about all stories of sex-tourism caught in compromising situations. I recall seeing a story from Phils on another forum which immediately got my fake news radar twitching.
It concerned one of the frequent clean-up raids (extortions" that the Phils Police indulge in to enhance their reputation as "The best cops that money can buy" when they were raiding an unnamed bar in Angeles. The story was that they had caught an unnamed German tourist with a 13 yr old girl who was employed in the bar, in a "compromising situation" and had arrested him as well as several members of the bar staff. I read the media reports in several local papers that were online, and they were identical down to the last comma. Obviously, they had all been copied from the Police press release and not one of them voiced any concerns over the lack of identification of the suspect.
If you know anything about local journalism, you will know that one income stream is raised through selling the stories to other publications. This is a story that would easily sell in Germany. I looked on the German Media with a Google search, and couldn't find the story anywhere. How difficult would it have been for a local journo to slip a local cop a few pisos to get the name, age and origins of this man?
A couple of days later, in a follow up, I read that the man had been fined and allowed to continue his holiday in Phils, while he still remained unidentified. Of course that's what you do when you discover a foreign nonce molesting a 13 yr old girl! Isn't It?
A few weeks later, I saw an announcement about increased funding for the ICE squad attached to the Manila Embassy. Amongst the achievements claimed to merit this, was that they provided the tip off in this case. Hmmm?
And mention of ICE reminds me of another story concerning a BBC doc, "Stacey Dooley: Saving the Cybersex Girls". Much of which was filmed in Phils, and was about under-age girls performing online for pervs. About three quarters in, there is a scene, where ICE and local cops combine to take a down a local nonce, who is about to livestream his exploits with three girls aged 8,10 and 12. The police have accessed the video link and are sitting in a police station some distance from where this is happening. Incredibly, there are no cops in the immediate area and the police are waiting for the abuse to start, before they get into their cars to drive to the scene of the crime where the nonce is arrested. Once he is in handcuffs, Dooley tears into him about his actions. And I am thinking to myself, "You speak up for these children now? Why weren't you tearing into the police and ICE for allowing the kids to be molested in the first place"? As far as ICE and the Phils cops were concerned. I wondered if they would have been so willing to let their own children be used as bait, as they were to use these three kids.
This was about a year or so after the BBC were heavily criticised for the role in not bringing Jimmy Saville, one of their big name performers who had a 40 year history of molesting children, the mentally ill and handicapped, to account. I complained to the BBC about Dooley, but they rejected my complaint and could find no fault in her not questioning the actions of LE. Dooley's product invariably ends up on Youtube including this. A few days after they rejected my complaint, that vid was removed but I am not aware of her other vids being removed. I wonder why?
For those of you who don't know the name, it would not be unfair to describe her as a female version of PIers Morgan in that she always go for the sensational and resorts to bullying those who can't hit back.
Yet another doc of hers, "Stacey Dooley investigates sex trafficking", where this time the scene was Cambodia. She is "working" with the local cops, whose corruption far outstrips that of the Phils with many of them owning brothels. She gets invited to join the Cam police on a raid on a brothel where there are supposed to be children working. They get to within a couple of hundred yards of the building. Out come the binoculars and they spend a couple of minutes observing the place. A message comes across the radio in Khmer, which was that there was nobody in the house. The local police chief says, "Someone must have tipped them off". Does Dooley ask the cop why, how or who did this? The Cam police have a habit of confiscating footage that might be embarrassing to them what do you think Dooley might have said?
Again, if you have a little knowledge of these matters, you will probably know that when Doc makers go abroad, they hire a local "fixer" to deal with makers lack of local knowledge, and he arranges most things such as transport, interpreters, tracking down locals for interviews etc. I am just thinking in view of the esteem that the local cops are held in, that when Dooley told the fixer that she was going on a raid on a brothel with the local chief of police, did they have to give him the rest of the day off as he fell about laughing uncontrollably.
But regarding media sex scandals, there usually is some sort of story there. But so often, as in the cases I've just mentioned, the more interesting story is the questions that should be asked, but weren't.
That's what I thought too
[QUOTE=OnFireBoy;2586647]As a local I can tell you that Medellin or Bogota are much more dangerous than Cartagena, Cartagena is a fairly small city compared to the two previous ones, and being a tourist city recognized worldwide as you say, security is very much taken care of in the areas more frequented by tourists, it is very rare to see a robbery in the walled city, maybe in the most remote areas the situation is different and if it is true that there is insecurity, but in places like Bocagrande or Laguito or on the beaches it is very rare to see a robbery.[/QUOTE]I have no fears of being robbed, Living in the USA and the DR I have a little more fear of robbery or carjacking so while traveling I do it smart, little to no drinking outside my apartment keep my distance and don't allow people to get up in your space and don't be overly flashy with jewelry and play attention, if you see the same faces show up in locations you was at prior, its highly likely you are being followed. Nothing new just the same rules as we have all followed for years. Yes last guy said that's what he thought too and your hired but mine is real and I will hire you for what I need and will PM you now and will wait your reply.
Your hired if you can get it done
[QUOTE=OnFireBoy;2578376]The prices vary according to the girl but for the whole night or all day on a yacht in Cholon, they are between 300 K and 500 K COP, my advice is that the night before you go to Cholon, try to meet some girls establish a mutual connection and thus be able to obtain a much lower price, and if you can stay with her from the night before it would be ideal if you are interested I have contact with some university girls that you do not find in pages or discos or in the clock tower and It could come out at a better price.
