    This is just political theater to make it seem like the Governor is doing something. Colombia, and much of Latin America, has a much larger issue being extremely wealthy countries with vastly poor populations.

    These countries are being kept this way purposely so that they can be exploited by much wealthier nations(US, Spain, France, Netherlands, India). This breeds a culture of self regulation and minimal government intervention, riddled with corruption and a populace left to their own devices.

    Prostitution in the touristic areas hasn’t been stopped at all, just pushed a little underground while the cops look the other way, because they are also customers.

    Fixing this problem requires something that won’t occur in our lifetimes. Which is unfortunate as Colombia is one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. Antioquia specifically is such an amazing place and the Paisa people are so unique and kind. Really beautiful when isolated cultures can survive this long.

    Politicians are such fucking idiots. “We’ve got a pedophile problem” “Close the bars at 1 am, and make prostitution extra illegal”

    I was confused by reading it “after US citizen found with two girls at a hotel”.

    I think I was thinking about adult tiny woman. But now I realise where the problem is.

    Sex pests are a major export from western nations to the rest of the world, it’s about time this infestation started being addressed.

    It would seem there is one thing Americans find sexier than their own family members…

    Wtf is wrong with people who are pedos. There must be some chemical imbalance that we should be able to fix by the time kids are 10 and never become pedos. I mean it’s wishful thinking but damn it’s 2024!

      I feel like this is a crime that really doesn’t get taken serious enough. There are so many studies showing that someone that was assaulted has a higher chance of continuing the cycle of assault when they are adults because it messes with their brain. There really is no seemingly help for a lot of these fucks, are our society is worse off with them.

      It’s because the people in power are into that sort of shit. Pedophilia is about power and control, which are the same attributes that capitalism pushes to the top. Why else would you think that Epstein’s black book had literally every billionaire and countless millionaires in it?

      Until capitalism is abolished it’s going to continue being “a societal problem”
