Tuti, I know there has been at least one NTM abuser who was prosecuted and did time behind bars. This was a case of incest and was pursued by the daughter. I applaud her.
In most cases there have been multiple excuses for why abusers of MKs have not been brought to justice. Things like the fact that the crimes happened overseas. And I am not aware of any case where a perp was turned in to local authorities on a foreign field. They were allowed to return to their home country, and then those who thought they'd be made to answer for their crimes there were told nothing could be done because now the abuser was not longer in the country where the abuse happened. Grrrr ....
Another issue that gets brought up is the fact that often many years pass before victims are ready to press charges.
In Les Emory's case, his local police station was contacted within the last few years, and because he has no police record, the police were not responsive at all. Not even, apparently, when now there is a lengthy interview which was conducted with him on his own doorstep during which he glibly admitted to molesting children overseas.
Have you watched the full-length interview? http://www.wesh.com/news/28827694/detail.html It is beyond comprehension to me that even after making this admission, this man is still walking around free, prowling this trailer park in Virginia.
There are days when it feels to me like no one cares. No one is going to help us.
Thanks for caring, Tuti.
